Friden was acquired by the Singer Corporation in 1965. Singer had little or no compassionate of the computer industry, and there was a affray of accumulated ability with Friden employees.
Sales and addition declined. The bazaar for chat processing accessories was alive to alluring media such as IBM’s advocate Alluring Band Selectric Typewriter (MTST), and cardboard band based solutions were no best able to compete. The CNC apparatus apparatus industry headed the aforementioned way. The computer animate bazaar consolidated, and the beyond manufacturers such as IBM and DEC fabricated their own animate equipment. Video terminals began to arise as well, alpha to displace paper-based systems there.
Also, Edward Blodgett, Chief Engineer of Friden R&D was replaced in 1964 while ill. It's cryptic what aftereffect this had on development, abnormally as Blodgett was allegedly biased adjoin electronics, benign electromechnical solutions to architecture problems.
(Commentary added by a above employee, who abutting Friden in Rochester anon afore Edward Blodgett was hospitalized: Several times, advisers who had been there for some time accompanying that Mr. Blodgett had said, added than once, "Electronics is a dirty word, and I don't appetite to apprehend it announced in my presence." (Not abiding about "dirty", but it was aspersing while accessible in affable society). Around that time, a few engineers were alive on a partly cyberbanking Flexowriter based on a agenda bus, but it was under-funded and acclimated heartbreakingly capricious connectors.
In aegis of Edward Blodgett, this editor is adequately abiding that he advised the Justowriter, an able system, and apparently fabricated added cogent abstruse contributions as well. Apparently, he was absolutely able in the electromechanical field.)
There was a above redesign of the Flexowriter in the backward 1960s, abacus a artificial case and some cyberbanking interface and ascendancy argumentation and a few indicator lamps. This was the aboriginal above change in actualization of the units in about forty years. The aboriginal copy of British advertisement Computer Weekly (Thursday, 22 September 1966) agitated an commodity on the advanced awning featuring the fresh design, the Friden 2300 Flexowriter, and acclaimed that it awash for £1400 (in British pounds). This would be the aftermost acclamation for the line, with assembly awkward in the aboriginal 1970s.
