In 1882, the firm of Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict
was organized for the purpose of devoting its entire time
and energy to the sale of the machine. The firm consisted
of W. O. Wyckoff, a Court Reporter of Ithaca, N. Y. ;
C. W. Seamans, who had been Sales Manager of the
machine for Fairbanks and E. Remington & Sons since the
machine was placed on the market, and H. H. Benedict,
who had long been associated with the Remington Arms
Company. http://www.archive.org/stream/evolutionoftypew00oden#page/23/mode/1up

シーマンズが、販売にずっとかかわってきた人なのだなあ。
