Monroe Calculator Company
The Monroe Calculator Company was a maker of adding machines and calculators founded in 1912 by Jay R. Monroe
based on a machine designed by Frank Stephen Baldwin. Now known as Monroe Systems for Business, the company was also known as ''Monroe Calculating Machine Company,'' ''Monroe THE Calculator Company,'' and ''Monroe Division of Litton Industries.''
==History==
For many years, Monroe was headquartered in Orange, New Jersey and Morris Plains, New Jersey with its manufacturing plants in New Jersey, Bristol, Virginia and Amsterdam. In 1958, the company was acquired by Litton Industries.〔The New York Times, January 24, 1958, p. 31.〕 Litton sold it in 1984. In the mid-1980s, the company diversified and began carrying a line of private-labeled copiers (manufactured by Mita Corp.) and cross-cut paper shredders, but those items have been discontinued.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the company had some 300 sales and service branch offices in the United States. In 1972, Monroe announced a pocket-sized electronic display calculator at $269.〔The Wall Street Journal, March 15, 1972, p. 40.〕 As low cost electronic calculators from Japan became readily available through retail distribution, the mechanical calculator companies like Monroe, Friden, and Marchant declined even as they introduced programmable calculators.
