History
Founding
The company was founded in 1880 as the Tonning Machinery Company in the modern-day Themiclesian city of Tuan-neng, manufacturing machinery and precision instruments. With the advent of unit record equipment at the turn of the 20th century, it became a distributor and later development partner of Columbian company Pan-Hemithean Information Corporation, a leading developer of mechanical computers.
Computer market
After the Pan-Septentrion War, Tonning Machinery also began to investigate the computer market, after a computer proved decisive in securing the Allied victory in Casaterra. In 1949, Dr. Ghjwang 'An, invented magnetic core memory, providing solid-state data storage with rapid access times, and sold rights to it to Tonning Machinery, giving it, now renamed Data Processing and Recording Machines a substantial advantage in the computer market. That advantage would be maintained through dedicated funding to research and market analysis. In the 1950s, DPRM expanded its domestic and international sales, but PHIC's distributional penetration in Columbia left DPRM with only minor market presence.
During the next decade, DPRM, under government patronage, developed systems capable of storing and reproducing non-alphabetic Shinasthana text, with language as a natural barrier to PHIC's entry. Forays were made in wireless communications, digital avionics, and digital graphics, though success was negligible at best. Due to embarrassment arising from an acronym shared with the Democratic People's Republic of Menghe, a hostile state, the comapny adopted its present name in 1965.
