As further orders for teleprinters and associated equipment came along, manufacturing facilities were expanded into more building area; additions to the first unit brought that building to 200 × 500 feet. Another building, 250 × 350 feet, of special design to house belt-line apparatus assembly and parts storage, also testing, inspection, and shipping, was erected in 1958. In August, 1956, Kleinschmidt Laboratories merged with Smith-Corona Inc., on an exchange-of-shares basis, which eventually gave Kleinschmidt Laboratories’ shareholders 60 shares of Smith-Corona (later Smith-Corona Marchant Inc., and then SCM Corporation) stock for one share of Kleinschmidt Laboratories’. Bud Mead was elected a director and a member of the executive committee. Later, he became vice president of operations. When Smith-Corona merged with Marchant Calculators, Inc. (June, 1958), he was made executive vice president; then, in October of 1960, he was named president of Smith-Corona Marchant Inc. (now known as SCM Corporation). Kleinschmidt, as a Division of SCM Corporation, continues to supply the Military and also commercial users with teleprinter equipment. The conclusion of this chapter tells briefly the direction the Kleinschmidt Division is going in the printed communications field. Before the Kleinschmidt 100-words-per-minute teleprinter was put into service on intercommunicating circuits, the operating speed on standard circuits had been limited to 60 words per minute. Noting this important change in operating speed, other manufacturers had to redesign their teleprinter equipment to meet the new 100-words-per-minute speed. Teletype Corporation came up with a new design, the No. 28, in which all the type pallets are moveably mounted in a rectangular box that is positioned to move a selected type pallet into printing position by a system of levers operated in aggregate motions under control of the code selecting mechanisms (fig. 15). When so positioned, a print hammer strikes the type pallet to print the character. Creed, in England, later brought out a new design, their No. 75, using a segmented typewheel having four rows of type faces. The typewheel is set in the selected printing position by a lever and linkage system operating in aggregate motion under control of the code selecting mechanism. To print the selected character, the typewheel is struck against the printing paper (fig. 16).
