Hide Profile

A series of meetings were held between the British Tabulating Machine Company Limited and the Burroughs Adding Machine Company in January and February of 1952. The "HOBO Group" consisted of a select number of members from each company. The self-imposed objectives of the HOBO group were "to develop specifications for equipment to satisfy all of the major economic levels of the world market for business machines; to make recommendations covering current short range and medium range programs, and to make further recommendations suggesting areas of long range research that might prove fruitful."
