The Comptometer (1885) was made by Felt, he invented the first calculator using keys to push for number entry and calculations. The Standard calculator (1901) was made by Hopkins who used two rows of five buttons representing the digits 0 through 9 to perform math computations. The standard ten digit keyboard (1911) we use today was made by Sundstrand who brought the design from Sweden to the United States.
