Talk:British Tabulating Machine Company

the need for an all-British machine was spurred by a government policy that favoured procurement of US-made equipment
How could a British government policy favoring procurement of US-made equipment spur the need for an all-British machine? Or was it a US government policy? If a US policy, why would a British firm care? A British policy favoring procurement of British machines would spur the need for an all-British machine but that is not what the article says. tooold 16:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've moved the paragrpah here pending clarification:
 * In 1937 BTM started the development of its own ambitious machine, the Rolling-Total Tabulator. BTM had gradually developed its engineering expertise by developing modifications to the American equipment (necessitated in part by the need to handle Britain's non-decimal currency), andthe need for an all-British machine was spurred by a government policy that favoured procurement of US-made equipment, and by the need to reduce royalty payments.
