Lyman Cornelius Smith

Lyman Cornelius Smith

Lyman Cornelius Smith (1834-1910) was an inventor and industrialist. Although his family manufactured guns, they are not the 'Smith' from Smith and Wesson. They founded Ithaca Gun Company. Smith later went on to found the Smith-Corona Typewriter Company. He also funded the Smith Tower in Seattle, WA, and there are several buildings in Syracuse University named after him.

The Smith Corona Company

Smith Corona or the SCM Corporation is a US typewriter and calculator company. The company experienced a decline in sales since the mid 1980s upon the introduction of PC-based word processing. Its competitors include Brother, Olivetti and IBM.
