Remington Rand
Remington Rand was a company that made things like typewriters and guns a long time ago. It was started in 1927 when two different companies, called Remington Typewriter and Rand Kardex, came together. They wanted to make a big company that could make lots of different things.
Remington Rand was really good at making typewriters. That means they made a machine that you could use to type letters or words onto paper. People would use them to write letters or make lists. They used a special ribbon that would put ink on the paper when you pushed the buttons. This was really important because it helped people to communicate and do work easily.
During World War II, Remington Rand started making things that could help the war effort. They made guns and other things that soldiers would need. After the war, they went back to making typewriters and other office equipment.
Eventually, Remington Rand decided that they would focus more on computers. They made some really important advancements in computer technology. They made something called the UNIVAC, which was the first computer that could be used for business purposes. Before that, computers were big and expensive and only the government could use them.
Today, Remington Rand isn't around anymore, but people still remember it as a company that made things that helped people communicate and do work more easily.
