Burroughs Adding Machine Manual
Portable Adders
Whileall adders could be transported, this group consists of a much lighter adderreleased in the 1920's. this group of adding machines of the portable design type of full keyboard (9 numberkeys in each column, number of columns varied by style). Can be electric ormanual powered by a hand crank.
The Class 8, 9, 10, andSeries P were the mainstay of the adding machine business for many years.Burroughs built a tremendous number of configurations over the years, alldesigned around the same basis invention of the first “Portable” machine.A significant change in the Burroughs line from the Class 1, 2, and 3machines with their heavy construction, the Burroughs Portable was the answer tocompetition from Victor, American, Barrett, Standard, Universal, Wales, and manyother portable machines of the time.

Microsoft already had 'Aero' working without drivers back in windows 8's early development (sometime in Milestone 2) due to the slightly newer DWM from early versions of Windows 8.I can't show any screenshots as the only ones i founded were the betas running in VMware.
The Class 10 machines werespecifically built for receipting applications such as bank teller use.These machines had special keyboard capabilities and unique carriageconstruction.While very common inbanks for years, these models are difficult to locate today.

In 1908 Burroughs acquired the Universal Adding Machine Company of Missouri, which manufactured the first key-driven electric calculator with 2-color printing tape. In 1909 Burroughs acquired the Pike Adding Machine Company of New Jersey. Victor 10 key Adding Machine - Probably the most used and favorite manual 10 key adding machine ever made. What accountant in the 1930s, 40s & 50s didn't use one? It is in the classic Art Deco style and has a condition rating of 2,2. This is a relatively early product of a company that would (under the name of Burroughs Adding Machine Company) come to dominate the market for adding machines in the United States. A heavy full-keyboard printing manually operated adding machine, it has a metal frame painted black, and glass sides that reveal the metal mechanism.

Burroughs Adding Machine Models
In this section you will be able to identify the date of manufacture by using the serial number from your machine. If your machine was built after 1924, you will have to send a picture and write me, and I will be able to help you with a rough idea of the date. You can check below to see if your serial number is within the description and tables. If not, you still have two options.
First, you can purchase a copy of the American Digest of Business Machines, published in 1924, and have all of the information at your fingertips. Use this link to get there:'American Digest', or you can write me and let me know the serial number of the machine. Write me at: Michael@burroughsinfo.com.
Note: The following tables cover the Class 1,2,3 machines only. If you have a Burroughs Portable Adding Machine, follow the link to Dates for Portables.
From The American Digest of Business Machines (1924)
Serial Numbers (approx. 1915 to 1927):
The serial number is stamped on the front of the base of every machine. To provide against the possibility of any confusion in identifying early models from those of modern construction having similar model numbers designations, the serial numbers assigned to each of the early models are listed below in detail. It will be noted that the serial numbers of
all early models are comparatively low -- in all cases less than 260,000 the approximate lowest serial number of machines with class designations.
Until 1914-1915, machines of this make were not numbered in sequence. The practice was to reserve a series of 1,000 to 5,000 numbers (more or less) and assign them to one model, and when that series was exhausted, a new
set in a different series would be assigned. Thus, as will be noticed, a model will have several groups of serials numbers, sometimes in the same year of manufacture. The intervening numbers were assigned other models.
Dates of Manufacture
When the above plan of numbering was abandoned, a regular sequence was maintained. Each machine, regardless of its class or model, was assigned a consecutive factory number. The following table is an approximation of such serial numbers. The necessity of maintaining sale and consignment stocks of machines of various models often brings about a condition whereby a machine is not sold for many months after manufacture. Thus, it sometimes develops that, judged by actual date of sale, the following table will not appear correct. The dates shown below are believed to be the approximate dates of manufacture.

Charts for serial numbers prior to 1914 (refer to model number):
Serials indicate the serial number range. Carriage type is the width of the carriage in inches. Manufacture
year is the approximate year of manufacture (not sale).
A highly detailed serial number listing for machines built before 1910 can be found on the Serials Detail page. It relates
the model number to the serial number range.
A cross reference of manufacture dates by serial range can be found on the Models Detail page.
