Comptometer schools
Article does not mention comptometr schools, which were an important, maybe even crucial part of the success of comptometer. Will try to dig up source later, but at it's height, more than 150 such schools operated around the world, providing "certified comptometer operators" to financial institutions such as insurance companies and banks, which employed them in droves, in room full of "human computers" looking very similar to the "typist pool" rooms in newspapers. Those schools were very important part, and can be credited for playing significant part in the success of the comptometr. קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 16:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
