transferred the exclusive right to the name

In 1873 E. Remington & Sons began the manufacture of a tpyewriting machine, the most important features of which were invented and patended by Christopher Latham Sholes. It was the pioneer writing machine, and called 'the Typewriter,' and 'the Shoies & Glidden typewriter,' and in 1880 the names 'Remington' and 'Remington Standard' were used instead, as they have since been continuously.

One of complainant's witnesses testified that the typewriter was called 'Remington' 'for the reason that the name Remington was known the world over, owing to their building guns for foreign governments, building sewing machines, and having one of the largest manufacturing works in the world.' In March, 1886, the typewriter branch of the business of E. Remington & Sons was sold to Messrs. Wyckoff, Seamans, & Bene-

dict, and there was also transferred the exclusive right to the name 'Standard Remington Typewriter,' by which name the assignment states the machines were generally known. The assignment contained the express reservation to E. Remington & Sons of the right to engage in the manufacture and sale of typewriters at any time after ten years from its date.

→　325-333 BROADWAY BUILDING
In addition, the building is important in the history of technology as the international headquarters (1888-1917) of Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict, makers and distributors of the Remington typewriter, the first practicable typewriter, and the parent company of the Remington Rand Corporation.

Around 1888, the firm of Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict, makers and distributors of Remington typewriters, moved to No. 327 Broadway.23
Typewriters were a recent invention, developed in the late 1860s and early 1870s by Christopher Latham Sholes, who in1873 arranged to have E. Remington & Sons, the arms maker, manufacture his design at its plant in Ilion, New York. In 1876, Remington purchased Sholes’ patents and began perfecting 6 Scholes’ design.24 William O. Wyckoff, later Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict’s senior partner, became the typewriter division’s publicist and owned a share of the business. After taking over distribution of the Remington typewriter in 1882, Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict began an aggressive marketing campaign, securing the endorsement of Samuel
Clemens (Mark Twain) for the device and opening sales offices in several cities in the United States and abroad. Wyckoff was fortunate that the YWCA had begun offering typing classes for young women in 1881 and that the first class of eight women had found jobs within days of finishing the course. In addition to the YWCA’s courses, Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict opened a typing school under the Remington name and private schools sprang up all over the world. Mrs.M.V. Longley, the proprietor of one of the schools, developed an all-finger method of typing that greatly increased typists’ speed. Typewriter sales began to increase. In 1886, Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict
purchased the typewriter manufacturing division of E. Remington & Sons with the right to continue using the Remington name. Until the 1890s, Remington was the only manufacturer of typewriters in the country and controlled the most useful patents for the machine.
Wyckoff, Seamans & Benedict increased production and further improved the typewriter’s design. In 1892, King’s Handbook of New York reported that the factory in Ilion was producing “over one hundred complete typewriters each day” and was employing “some seven hundred men.”25 This “plain and
unpretentious, though substantial marble structure” at 327 Broadway served as the company’s “executive offices and main selling headquarters,” from which supervision was “exercised over more than a score of branch-offices located in the leading cities of the United States and Europe.”26 In 1905, the firm officially changed its name to the Remington Typewriter Company. Sometime around 1910-11, Remington acquired the leases for Nos. 325 and 329-
333 Broadway and filed plans to create fireproof openings between the three buildings, joining them into one structure in order to provide additional means of egress as required by the building code.27
Functionally, 325 and 327 Broadway became one building, which was occupied entirely by Remington until1917, when the company moved its operations to
374 Broadway. In 1927, the Remington Typewriter Company merged with the Rand Kardex Company, a manufacturer of record-control systems, to form the
Remington Rand Corporation. It continued to be a leading manufacturer of typewriters, stenciling machines, and adding machines. In the 1950s,
Remington Rand merged with the Sperry Gyroscope Company, forming the Sperry Rand corporation which began to focus on the electronics and computer
industry.

After Remington moved from 325 and 327 Broadway in 1917, that portion of the building was occupied by a variety of businesses including several leading dry goods firms.
