"Back before there was an International Business Machines (c.1924); back before Thomas J. Watson, Sr., joined IBM's predecessor, the Computing-Tabulating-Machine Company (1914)...A century ago, in 1906, Harlow Bundy -- a Binghamton, N.Y., manufacturer of time recorders -- moved his young International Time Recording Company (ITR) into a new three-story brick building in Endicott. ;"
