"During 1893, Smith joined with the Union Typewriter Company, a trust in Syracuse which included rival firms Remington, Caligraph, Densmore and Yost. Not long after, Union took action and blocked the Smith Premier Typewriter Company from using the new front strike design, which allowed typists to see the paper as they typed. As a result, the Smith brothers quit in 1903 and founded L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter Company. The new company soon released the "L. C. Smith & Bros. Model No. 2", which was an odd beginning because, a full year later, they released the "L. C. Smith & Bros. Model No. 1." Carl Gabrielson invented both models. ...With the success of their Corona model in 1914, Standard Typewriter Company was renamed again and became the Corona Typewriter Company. Smith Corona was created when L. C. Smith & Bros. United with Corona Typewriter in 1926, with L. C. Smith & Bros. Making office typewriters and Corona Typewriter making portables." (from Wikipedia) .
