The Remington Factory

Although the name Remington played a leading role in typewriter production for many decades, the original Remington Arms factory was involved with typewriters for a very short time only. Briefly, this is what happened:
 
When the first 1000 Sholes & Glidden typewriters were produced at the Remington factory, Densmore and Sholes were the primary owners of the machine. Remington and sons had only a minority interest. For a brief period between 1877 and 1882 Remington had a majority share, but both engineers (Yost) and marketeers (Wyckoff, Seamans and Benedict) who got involved obtained shares.
 
Wyckoff, Seamans and Benedict in New York obtained sole distribution rights for the Remington typewriter in 1883 and three years later also obtained sole manufacturing rights, which included the right to use the Remington name on the machine that had now nothing to do anymore with the original Remington factory and family. In fact, they built their own factory for the production of Remington typewriters.
