I was lucky enough to find an Allen Wales manual adding machine at a gun show (in addition to the obvious wares, there's lots of really weird stuff for sale at gun shows!) last weekend; for the price I couldn't turn it down. So... I'm finding very little information about the company on line (just about the only concrete information I'm finding is that they were bought by National Cash Register in 1943). Does anybody know anything about them? Any good sites I should be looking at?
