IBM is heir to all the ideas for innovative ciphering machines of the past.

From granite blocks used to tell time, to beads used for accounting purposes, to punch cards, to computer chips as small as a raindrop, all are the historical roots of this corporate legend. IBM began with a small group of visionaries whose first factory was in a dismal garret in Binghamton, New York. By the time the Bundy Manufacturing Company relocated to Endicott, New York, it was part of the greatest industrial revolution in the world: the birth of computing technology. IBM in Endicott illustrates the development of a corporation and the people and ideas that made IBM a household word. With the city of Endicott at the epicenter of progress, IBM grew from a small company named Bundy Manufacturing, incorporated in 1889, to the company known as International Business Machines. Pictured are just a few of the notable moments during some of the golden years of Big Blue.

5.0 out of 5 stars IBM in Endicott - Images in America
Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2012

As an IBMer of 33 years it was interesting ti see a time capsule of prose and pictures depicting the growth and development of IBM in the Endicott NY area. The authors do a credible job of presenting fact and illustration covering the highlight of the emergence and growth of this giant corporation know as "Big Blue". Although IBM no longer has a significant presence in the area it will always remain in the core fabric of the history of Endicott. It was a pleasure to peruse the pages of this book and rekindle many good memories.
