In the decade after the Second World War IBM rebuilt its European operations as integrated, wholly owned subsidiaries of its World Trade Corporation, chartered in 1949. Long before the European common market eliminated trade barriers, IBM created its own internal networks of trade, allocating the production of different components and products between its new subsidiaries. Their exchange relationships were managed centrally to ensure that no European subsidiary was a consistent net importer. At the heart of this system were eight national electric typewriter plants, each assembling parts produced by other European countries. IBM promoted these transnational typewriters as symbols of a new and peaceful Europe and its leader, Thomas J. Watson, Sr., was an enthusiastic supporter of early European moves toward economic integration. We argue that IBM’s humble typewriter and its innovative system of distributed manufacturing laid the groundwork for its later domination of the European com...

A group of engineers and architects established a technical society in Tampere 128 years ago in 1893. In 2018, Tampere Technical Society turned 125 years. To celebrate its accomplishments and longevity, the Society published a book called Tekniikkaa hyvässä Seurassa. The Finnish title translates roughly ‘about technology in good company’. The volume is a result of an extensive research project funded by the Society. The project aimed at studying the intertwined histories of the City of Tampere, the Society, and its members from the early 1890s until the 2010s. This article introduces the Society and summarises its historical developments in English based on the book.

This paper studies Finnish historians' contact and collaboration with their colleagues in neighboring countries from the late 1960s until the early 1980s, focusing on exchanges concerning the use of computers for historical research. Computers were used by some historians in the Soviet Union, in particular Soviet Estonia, as well as in Sweden and other Nordic countries. With the former, historians in Finland organized regular symposiums starting in 1971; and with the latter, Finnish historians completed joint Nordic research projects during the 1970s. Both forms of collaboration resulted in a stream of publications. Further exchanges took place at seminars and Nordic conferences. The approach in this study is transnational, and the paper argues that this approach helps us understand better the deep roots of Nordic collaboration in the early digital humanities, and more broadly, the spread and circulation of humanities computing internationally.

A multinational corporation and ties to the West: IBM in Finland and in Western Europe during the post-war years and the 1950s. (Article in Finnish.)
This article explores the development of the International Business Machines Corporation in Finland from the 1930s and asks how IBM contributed to rebuilding international economic and political linkages on a national level and on a European level for Finland after WWII. Based on archival sources from both the main IBM Archives in the United States and IBM Finland’s collection, this article argues that IBM skilfully combined its many national and international operations to strengthen Europe for political and economic reasons. A key figure for IBM Finland was its chairman of the board from 1938 until 1959; long-time Finnish foreign minister Carl Enckell. He could for instance support IBM in supplying punched card machines for Finnish companies in charge of war reparations to the Soviet Union. After war reparations, IBM integrated its Finnish subsidiary into the corporation’s new transnational manufacturing system in Europe, aimed at overcoming economic boundaries and duties as well as creating interdependence inside the company and the continent. Exceptionally, salesmen from IBM Finland also introduced an inter-bloc contact when they rented machines to a petrol company owned by the Soviet Union in Helsinki in the mid-1950s. Overall, however, IBM Finland and its sister companies connected willing Finnish customers to the technological community of the Western countries.

An Invention Factory of Fine Mechanics during Crisis Years:
Erkki Laurila as a Research Leader at the State Aircraft Factory (in Finnish).
Using a biographical approach, this article explores the inventive development work on the department of fine (or precision) mechanics at the State Airplane Factory, in Tampere, Finland. It was Erkki Laurila who started, built and then managed the fine mechanics department of the factory from 1942 until 1946. The department was created to increase technological independence in aviation instruments vis-à-vis Germany and ended up producing various inventions as well as control engineering instruments for war reparations to the Soviet Union. In 1946, Laurila left the department to become the first Finnish professor of engineering (or technical) physics at the Helsinki University of Technology, a professorship he had helped to establish in 1944 as an industry representative. The article uncovers a practically unknown invention by Laurila, a remote gyro compass system from 1943, that the Finns tried to sell to Sweden and Switzerland. Laurila’s department later developed into an independent instrument factory under the state-owned Valmet Corporation.

The article examines the industrial and technological undertakings of Count Carl Robert Mannerheim. He was born to a Finnish noble family in 1835 and died in 1914. Currently, he is known as the father of General Gustaf Mannerheim, a former President of Finland and a war hero. In addition to farming, the Count gained experience in owning a machine shop, producing alcohol and erecting and managing a pulp and paper mill. After personal bankruptcy, he lived in Paris, France, during 1879–1887 and was involved in establishing a panorama show building in New York. Back in Helsinki in 1887, he started importing and selling office supplies and machines. He continued this business for almost thirty years, until his death, and it grew into a renowned company called Systema.

Unlike other foreign computing companies, in addition to sales and service IBM early on also established production facilities in the Nordic countries. To provide a better understanding of the role of IBM in these countries, the article surveys IBM manufacturing in the region: what was produced, and where were these functions located? The term “production” is understood in a rather narrow sense, as manufacture. The results show that for several decades, IBM produced punched cards in four Nordic countries, but that after 1960 there has been only one IBM factory for hardware in the region, located in the Stockholm area. The article also discusses the reasons for Sweden’s importance in IBM manufacture, and suggests that Nordic companies contributed to IBM manufacture through subcontracting.

This article studies a forgotten research project of recent Finnish history of information technology by the name of “Suomalainen tietokoneprojekti”, in English “The Finnish Computer Project”(FICO). The FICO project was a government-sponsored research project initially aimed at producing a Finnish (mini) computer for international markets, especially in socialist countries. Researchers carried out the project in 1975-1976. After the researchers had produced their preliminary study report in six months time, the project was however not continued. I argue that historians have misrepresented the FICO project in recent research and when properly studied, the project can offer new perspectives to an early development phase of present-like
science and technology policy in Finland. Notwithstanding FICO’s topicality, this article focuses on examining what the involved people meant by the “national task” of the project. I further argue that we can best understand FICO as a continuation of earlier ideas on building high technology, in this case electronics and computers, capabilities and expertise as a Finnish national project. Moreover, focusing on these distinct national projections in action might offer one key to understanding similar attempts at “national projects” in other countries as well.

The research paper by Petri Paju, Adjunct Professor at the University of Turku, explores the methods of and motives for Finns implementing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty from the 1960s onwards. Finland was the first country to sign a comprehensive safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Documentary sources indicate that Finnish experts also participated in drafting the agreement with the IAEA. This achievement laid the foundation for the pioneering image of Finnish nuclear safety experts. The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2020.
