This is a user manual for the Burroughs Calculator (shoebox model). It covers the four basic arithmetic operations, fractions, discounts, interest, British currency, as well as basic maintenance. It also describes some other Burroughs machines, and lists all the Burroughs offices in the US and Canada.

This is a user manual for the Burroughs Adding Listing machines. It covers the installation, basic operation, and care of the machine, as well as subtraction, multiplication, division, invoices, discounts, and interest calculations. It also lists the available models, and all the Burroughs offices in the US and Canada.

This is the Swedish version of the user manual for Burroughs Adding Listing machines. It covers most of the same topics. The list of available models now also includes the Burroughs-Pike machine and the Burroughs Calculator (shoebox model). At the end there are 9 pages listing all the companies in Sweden who use Burroughs machines and how many they have.

This is the Spanish version of the user manual for Burroughs Adding Listing machines. It is much reduced in length compared to the English version, covering only the basics of installation and use. The last page lists some Burroughs offices around the world.

This is the German version of the user manual for Burroughs Calculator (shoebox model). It is slightly slimmer than the version above, but covers the same topics. It does not have a list of available models at the back, nor a customer list. There are some additional pages pasted in (pages 48a, 34a, 34b) and the index page has two entries added at the bottom for these new pages. There is no copyright year, but there is a 1913 photo of the Burroughs factory.

This is a course book. It opens vertically, and the leaves are only printed on one side. There are 90 lessons and 5 examinations, each one on a single page. It is somewhat similar to the Comptometer Course in Business Arithmetic from a few years later. The code on the last page indicates it was printed in September 1924, though its copyright year is 1923.

This booklet is a training manual for how to repair and service the class 2 Burroughs adding machine. The staples have been removed and the pages perforated so they could be stored in a binder. Unfortunately the 16 pages in the middle have gone missing.

This booklet is a training manual for how to repair and service the class 3 Burroughs adding machine. The staples have been removed and the pages perforated so they could be stored in a binder. It is in very poor condition, especially the cover page, but complete.

This booklet is a manual for the Burroughs Calculator. It explains how to do the four basic arithmetic operations, as well as a few other things such as prorating and lumber calculations. The code on the back cover suggests that it was printed in November 1928.

This is the 1943 edition of the instruction manual above. It has expanded a little to include a nice overview of all versions of the Burroughs Calculator. It explains how to do the four basic arithmetic operations, and briefly mentions how to use the Duplex calculator. The code on the back cover suggests that it was printed in March 1945.

This booklet is the French version of the manual for the Burroughs Calculator. It explains how to do the four basic arithmetic operations, calculate interest, reciprocals, and percentages.

This is a course book for the Burroughs Calculator. It is very similar to Felt & Tarrant's The Comptometer Course in Business Arithmetic in size and scope, and also opens vertically. The pages with exam questions are perforated, allowing them to be removed and handed in for marking. It has 254 pages covering 226 lessons.
Although its copyright year is 1929, it seems that the pages listing the available calculator models are from about 1934-1936.

This book contains the answers for all the lessons in the Manual of Instruction for the Burroughs Calculator above. It has no copyright year, but according to the code number on the back cover it was printed in May 1941. The original owner has written their name ("Ruth Royer") on the front and on the side.

This book consists of two parts - 16 pages with Practice problems, followed by 50 pages of calculation short cuts. There are a few pages with adverts in between.

This bound volume contains the first 8 issues of The Burroughs, from January to September 1910 (There was no August issue). The pages are numbered consecutively 1 to 240, about 30 pages per issue. It is likely that there were no further issues until the magazine was relaunched 3 years later.

This bound volume contains 24 issues of The Burroughs. The first is issue 1 volume 1 from September 1913, so it seems that this is a relaunch of the magazine. The last is issue 12 volume 2 from September 1915.

This booklet opens vertically, and contains a set of tables for use with the calculator. These tables were also available separately on cardboard. There is no copyright year, but on the corner of the first page someone has pencilled the date 5/4/40, so presumably it was first acquired then, although it may well have been printed 10 years earlier. It was produced by the British branch of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company.

This is a ringbound collection of tables. The size, colour, and thickness of the cardboard varies - some are on thick yellow cardboard while others are on sturdy white paper; some fold out, while others are half the size of the cover. Some also have additional perforations different to that used by the ring binding. It is clear that most of these tables were available separately. The cover is quite badly torn, because it is much thinner paper than that of most of the tables themselves, and it has the name "Nellie Erhardt" written on it.
Included is an envelope containing some narrow tables that fit in the area to the left of the keyboard of the calculator, as well as a divider strip to split the keyboard into two regions.

Chester Katenkamp wrote a series of Office Machine Practice booklets, of which this is the one for the Burroughs calculator. Others include the Comptometer, the Monroe calculator, and the Sundstrand machine. It is essentially a manual and course, explaining the four arithmetic operations an providing practice exercises. It also has sections on handling fractions and decimal points.
This book is in good condition, partly because the centre pages have been strengthened with tape along the spine to prevent the staples from tearing through, and similarly there is tape along the spine on the outside of the cover. There were pencil marks inside but I was able to mostly erase them.

As the Burroughs Calculator and the Comptometer are so similar, there were many third party course books such as this one that deal with both at the same time. It is similar to the Manual of Instruction course book above, also opens vertically, but is printed on only one side. It has 54 pages covering 51 lessons, but there are also 4 loose pages inserted at the back covering lesson 117.
The front of this course book has been signed with the student's name, Eileen Powell.

This is another course book for both the Comptometer and the Burroughs Calculator. It consists of 40 lessons, with an emphasis on addition, but also covers subtraction, multiplication and division. Its pages have perforations, so that when the answers to an exercise are filled in, it can be torn out and handed in to the teacher. This may make this book somewhat rare to find despite having been very widely used. There were five editions - 1940, 1947, 1952 (shown here), 1959, and 1964.

This is also a course book for both the Comptometer and the Burroughs Calculator, and it contains 59 jobs. As with Meehan's book above, its pages are designed to be filled in and torn out as they have perforations near the spine, and this may make it somewhat rare to find this book intact. Shown here is the second edition from 1942, but the 1949 third edition follows below.

This third edition has virtually the same contents as the second edition above, but it is laid out differently because the book is now spiral bound and of a different format. Each page page has a vertical perforation at about one third of the way along. The inner third of the page contains an explanation of a job, and the detachable two-thirds has the job itself with spaces where the answers can be filled in. There was a fourth edition of this book in 1962, and also a sequel, the "Advanced Key-Driven Calculator Course" by Peter Lawrence Agnew and Mary Margaret Brady in 1958.
