William S. Gubelmann (1863- September 26, 1959) was an American inventor who held about 5000 patents, invented adding machines, accounting machines and cash registers. [1] Popular Mechanics called Gubelmann “the father of all calculating machines in use today”.[2] The New York Times said that his inventions "formed the basis of the business machine industry".[1] He had a passion for yachting: one of his prized possessions was a square-rig, 3 mast, 168-foot yacht called the USS Seven Seas.[3] His granddaughter is Marjorie Gubelmann, the owner and CEO of Vie Luxe International.
