It lies in Western New York at the eastern end of Lake Erie, at the head of the Niagara River on the Canada–United States border. With a population of 278,349 according to the 2020 census, Buffalo is the second-most populous city in New York state after New York City, and the 81st-most populous city in the U.S.[10] Buffalo and the city of Niagara Falls together make up the two-county Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area, which had an estimated population of 1.2 million in 2020, making it the 49th-largest metro area in the U.S. Before the 17th century, the region was inhabited by nomadic Paleo-Indians who were succeeded by the Neutral, Erie, and Iroquois nations. In the early 17th century, the French began to explore the region. In the 18th century, Iroquois land surrounding Buffalo Creek was ceded through the Holland Land Purchase, and a small village was established at its headwaters. In 1825, after its harbor was improved, Buffalo was selected as the terminus of the Erie Canal, which led to its incorporation in 1832. The canal stimulated its growth as the primary inland port between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Transshipment made Buffalo the world's largest grain port of that era. After the coming of railroads greatly reduced the canal's importance, the city became the second-largest railway hub (after Chicago). During the mid-19th century, Buffalo transitioned to manufacturing, which came to be dominated by steel production. Later, deindustrialization and the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway saw the city's economy decline and diversify. It developed its service industries, such as health care, retail, tourism, logistics, and education, while retaining some manufacturing. In 2019, the gross domestic product of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls MSA was $53 billion (~$62.3 billion in 2023). The city's cultural landmarks include the oldest urban parks system in the United States, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, the Buffalo History Museum, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Shea's Performing Arts Center, the Buffalo Museum of Science, and several annual festivals. Its educational institutions include the University at Buffalo, Buffalo State University, Canisius University, and D'Youville University. Buffalo is also known for its winter weather, Buffalo wings, and three major-league sports teams: the National Football League's Buffalo Bills, the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres and the National Lacrosse League's Buffalo Bandits. The Bundy Manufacturing Company was a 19th-century American manufacturer of timekeeping devices that went through a series of mergers, eventually becoming part of International Business Machines and Simplex Time Recorder Company. It was the first time-recording company in the world to produce time clocks, colloquially known as 'Bundys'. The company was founded by the Bundy Brothers. Bundy brothers Willard Legrand Bundy was born on 8 December 1845[1] in Otsego, New York, and died on 19 January 1907.[2] His family later moved to Auburn, New York, where he worked as a jeweler and invented a time clock in 1888.[1] He later obtained patents of many mechanical devices.[3] Harlow E. Bundy was born in 1856 in Auburn, New York. He was a graduate of Hamilton College. He died in 1916 in Pasadena, California, after retiring from business in 1915. Timeline Unknown date: founding of Accurate Time Stamp Company. Unknown date: founding of Chicago Time Register Company. Unknown date: founding of Syracuse Time Recording Company. 1888: Willard L. Bundy invents the key recorder, applies it to time keeping for his employees.[4] 1888: Dr. Alexander Dey invents the dial time recorder.[5] 1889: Harlow E. Bundy and Willard L. Bundy incorporate the Bundy Manufacturing Company in Binghamton, New York: the first time-recording company in the world to produce time clocks.[6][7] The Bundy Manufacturing Company begins with just eight employees and $150,000 capital.[8] 1890: The Accurate Time Stamp Company (later renamed the Standard Time Stamp Company)- A Complete Automatic Time-Dating Stamp.[9][10] 1893: Alexander Dey and relatives form the Dey Patents Co., later renamed the Dey Time Register Co. of Syracuse, New York.[11][12][13]< 1894: Daniel M. Cooper patents the first card time-recorder. The Willard and Frick Manufacturing Company is organized to market Cooper's invention under the trade name "Rochester".[14][15][16] 1896: George Winthrop Fairchild joins Bundy Manufacturing Company as both an investor and director.[17] 1898: About 9,000 Bundy Time Recorders have been produced, advertised as solving "vexatious questions of recording employee time".[18] 1898: A New Time Register, manufactured by the Chicago Time Register Company.[19] 1899: Bundy Manufacturing Company acquires the Standard Time Stamp Company, manufacturers of a timestamp and a card recorder.[20][21][22] 1900: The International Time Recording Company of New Jersey is formed: a merger of the time-recording business of Bundy Mfg., its subsidiary, the Standard Time Stamp Company, and Willard and Frick Mfg.[23][24] Bundy Mfg. continues to manufacture other products, such as the Bundy Adding Machine (see 1905, 1910). 1901: ITR re-incorporates as a New York company.[25] 1901: ITR acquires the Chicago Time Register Company: the first, "Merritt" autograph time-recorder company in the world and a manufacturer of key, card and autograph employee time recorders.[26][27] 1903: The Bundy brothers have a falling-out. Willard L. Bundy moves to Syracuse, where he and his son form the W.H. Bundy Recording Company - manufacturing a clock similar to the ITR manufactured clocks.[28] 1905: The Bundy Adding Machine is patented (advertised 1904-06)[29][30][31] 1906: The Bundy Manufacturing Company and ITR relocate from Binghamton, New York to side-by-side locations in Endicott, New York.[32][33] 1907: ITR acquires Dey Time Register Co. Manufacturing of dial time recorders moved from Syracuse to Endicott.[34] ITR's motto is Safeguarding the Minute.[35] 1907: Willard L. Bundy dies.[1] 1908: ITR acquires the Syracuse Time Recording Co.[36] 1910: "New York State Men: Biographic Studies and Character Portraits", Frederick S. Hills (ed), states that Harlow Bundy still holds the positions of treasurer and general manager of Bundy Mfg "now being engaged in the manufacture of adding machines, the time recording business having been merged in the International Time Recording Co., of Endicott, in 1901". 1910/11: Willard L. Bundy's son forms the W.H. Bundy Time Card Printing Co and is listed as the vice president of the Monitor Time Clock Company, Syracuse New York.[28] 1911: Charles Ranlett Flint amalgamates (via stock acquisition)the Bundy Manufacturing Company, ITR, the Tabulating Machine Company and the Computing Scale Company into the new Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) holding company.[37][38][39] Fairchild is president of the new company and will later be chairman. Harlow Bundy is vice-president of the new company. The individual companies continue to operate using their established names.[40] 1916: W.H. Bundy/Monitor firm sold to Simplex Time Recorder Company.[28] 1924: CTR renamed International Business Machines[citation needed] 1933. IBM dispenses with the holding company structure, offices are consolidated and the subsidiary names, "Bundy", etc. are removed.[41][42] 1935: Since 1907 or earlier, ITR (now the IBM Time Equipment Division) had published a magazine, Time, for employees and customers that IBM now renames THINK.[35] 1958: IBM and its predecessor companies made clocks and other time recording products for 70 years, culminating in the 1958 sale of the domestic IBM Time Equipment Division to Simplex Time Recorder Company.[43] A clock or chronometer is a device that measures and displays time. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia. Some predecessors to the modern clock may be considered "clocks" that are based on movement in nature: A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. There is a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Water clocks, along with sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. A major advance occurred with the invention of the verge escapement, which made possible the first mechanical clocks around 1300 in Europe, which kept time with oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels.[1][2][3][4] Traditionally, in horology (the study of timekeeping), the term clock was used for a striking clock, while a clock that did not strike the hours audibly was called a timepiece. This distinction is not generally made any longer. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are usually not referred to as clocks.[5] Spring-driven clocks appeared during the 15th century. During the 15th and 16th centuries, clockmaking flourished. The next development in accuracy occurred after 1656 with the invention of the pendulum clock by Christiaan Huygens. A major stimulus to improving the accuracy and reliability of clocks was the importance of precise time-keeping for navigation. The mechanism of a timepiece with a series of gears driven by a spring or weights is referred to as clockwork; the term is used by extension for a similar mechanism not used in a timepiece. The electric clock was patented in 1840, and electronic clocks were introduced in the 20th century, becoming widespread with the development of small battery-powered semiconductor devices. The timekeeping element in every modern clock is a harmonic oscillator, a physical object (resonator) that vibrates or oscillates at a particular frequency.[2] This object can be a pendulum, a balance wheel, a tuning fork, a quartz crystal, or the vibration of electrons in atoms as they emit microwaves, the last of which is so precise that it serves as the definition of the second. Casio F-91W digital watch, a historically popular watch introduced in 1989 Clocks have different ways of displaying the time. Analog clocks indicate time with a traditional clock face and moving hands. Digital clocks display a numeric representation of time. Two numbering systems are in use: 12-hour time notation and 24-hour notation. Most digital clocks use electronic mechanisms and LCD, LED, or VFD displays. For the blind and for use over telephones, speaking clocks state the time audibly in words. There are also clocks for the blind that have displays that can be read by touch.
