[GreenKeys] KLI/SCM

[Duncan Brown]

I just came across some Kleinschmidt ads in "Electronics Industries" 
magazine for 1958 & 1959.

In the 1958 ads, they say "Kleinschmidt Laboratories, Inc.; a subsidiary 
of Smith-Corona Inc."

In the 1959 ads, they say "Kleinschmidt; Division of Smith-Corona 
Marchant Inc."

So the merger of KLI into Smith-Corona must have been in the mid 1950s.

Have a Happy New Year,
