"The Denominator is an adding machine for special uses. It is, in fact, simply a counting apparatus and, at least for the time being, it is produced only for American currency. It has eleven celluloid keys labelled 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents and 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 dollars. Each of these keys operates a special calculating mechanism with three windows above the keys. The butterfly screw on the left side is used for setting all the windows to zero. The machine is primarily for setting up payrolls in calculating how many 1, 3, 5, 10, etc. cent coins and 1, 2, 5, etc. dollar bills are needed so that the necessary change and bills are obtained from the bank. The machine does not add the amounts but functions only as an item counter.
Manufacturer: Denominator Adding Machine Company, 315 Eighth Street, Brooklyn (US)"

"Designer: Georg Browning. Manufacturer: Commonwealth Adding Machine Company, Muskegon, Mich. This is a ten-key adding machine of special design. Each number entered appears in a calculating mechanism above the attached keys so that the entry can be checked. The result mechanism is above the control windows. The machine has seven places. Total printing and zero setting are both carried out in one operation - one presses the total key and the zero setting lever is moved at the same time. All totals appear in red. Correction is carried out by pressing the correction key and shifting the correction lever. A nonprinting machine is also available."

"This is a miniature adding machine with rack setting. Manufacturer is A.B. Addo of Malmo. It is manufactured in three versions: model 2 is nonprinting, model 3 is for English currency and is nonprinting, and model 4 prints."
In the 1960s, the Addo company became part of the Facit company.
According to Timo Leipälä, the Addo company started in 1917 and sold its model 1 from 1918 on.
note: Addo 2 differs from normal stylus operated calculators like Addo 1 and Comptator, because tens transmission is not performed while you operate with the stylus. For tens transmission you have to pull the large crank like in usual printing adding machines.
Addo also produced pin wheel machines under the name Multo.

As of 1921 it changed to Cosmos Büromaschinen, Berlin (at this time it was renamed the Addi-Cosmos). As of 1922 it passed to Bergmann Universal-Gesellschaft m. b. H , Berlin-Wilmersdorf. This firm named the machine B.U.G., although in 1924, it stopped producing them, probably because they were also making another line of cheaper adding machines with hook tens-carry."
