there was a Dalton Adding Machine Company at about the same time?


Glen Linscheid
 

"After complex business dealings, including intervention from other adding machine manufacturers, James L. Dalton (1866-1926) acquired exclusive rights to manufacture machines under the Hopkins patents"

?Says "James L. Dalton (1866-1926) acquired exclusive right to manufacture machines under the Hopkins patents"
?
?But Dalton's first name was Hubert, " (1866--1952) was English by birth and the first born of eleven children." (From Lathes.Uk) Probably a coincidence that Hubert and James had the same birth year though. I know Hubert had many other businesses but office machines don't seem to be part of the array.

I had a Doctor in Hillsboro years ago that had a really nice Dalton adding machine of some kind on display in his waiting room. According to Gay Howards biography of Hubert Dalton he? never owned a business machine mfg. company.? He did have a hand tool company and also a company that grew Flowers. Growing flowers was one of Hubert’s hobbies in later years when he was in Hawaii he raised flowers there as he could grow them year around. I actually drove by his estate in Hawaii but did not know it at the time I was there.?? Dennis
