The firm of Felt and Tarrant was founded in 1886 by Dorr Eugene Felt (1862-1930), who invented what he claimed was the first practical key-driven mechanical calculator. The prototype for Felt's machine was his famous "macaroni box" model, completed in 1885, in which Felt worked out the essential design elements of his calculator using a wooden macaroni box for the body, meat skewers for the keys, and rubber bands for the springs. In 1887 Felt patented his machine and began producing and selling it from his manufacturing facility in Chicago, which he financed with capital supplied by his partner, Robert Tarrant. Felt and Tarrant's main product was the Comptometer, introduced in 1890; this was a nonlisting (i.e., nonprinting) machine whose chief advantages were its speed, versatility, and ease of use. The Comptometer rivaled the Burroughs calculators in popularity during… Read More
