Typewriters

​

In 1931, Burroughs entered into the typewriter market. A handsome manual machine was followed the following year with a version with a motorized carriage return. In the later years the machines were sold with special paper handling features and sold as billing machines. Burroughs created the "Typewriter Division" within the company to build and market typewriters, an indication of the potential business they were hoping for. Sadly, the typewriter market was the domain of several large, well established companies and the Burroughs typewriters never captured a significant part of the market.

 

Burroughs suspended the production of Typewriters during WWII.
