I have yet an old 1970s Smith-Corona typewriter. If any one knows where I could donate this for historical purposes, let me know here.

The nearest typewriter company I can find is Smith-Corona in Groton. Would that have been a reasonable commute for someone who lived on South Albany Street or was there another typewriter company in Ithaca? Did National Cash Register ever make typewriters? Your help will be most appreciated.

They made typewriters until fairly recently. Groton is only a short way from Ithaca. My husband worked at NCR for 28 years, and never knew of them to make typewriters. The Ithaca NCR was the adding machine division. They later made printers, for scanners, ATM's, etc. In 1930, it was called Allen Wales, not National Cash Register.

To: nytompki@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <bfe.2c01ff83.34b68e9a@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Smith Corona Marchant (SCM) Typewriter Company had many assembly plants including the one located in Groton. Their main & largest assembly plant & headquarters was located in South Cortland (just outside of city limits). There were also had a couple of other smaller plants located within the city limits of Cortland - one of them was located on Huntington Street. During the late 60's and early 70's (when I worked there) all of the plants were working three shifts (24-7). It was one of the biggest employers within a 60 mile radius of Cortland. People drove from anywhere up to 1- 1/2 hours one way to work there. Later (believe in early 90's) they shut the doors to SCM and moved their business to Mexico (outsourcing). Ithaca is about 30 minutes from Cortland, depending on what road a person would be driving. The major route would be Rt 13 from Ithaca to Dryden to Cortland or several alternate routes going through the "countryside", if you happened to be a "local". If you'd like more information about SCM, suggest you contact the Cortland Historical Society or the Cortland Public Library - both have an abundance of history about the company. You could also "google" Smith Corona typewriters on your search engine...there's a wealth of info available. **************Start the year off right.

AT&T sold part of NCR to Lucent Technology. I understand that NCR has bought back some of the company now; not in Ithaca, though. There is, or was, a large IBM plant in Owego, south of Ithaca.
