William Seward Burroughs I article

Hey there. I've been looking through this article and came across your edit, here.
Do you have any citation for this? It seems to disagree with all other information I can find on the matter.
Thanks,

I worked for Burroughs Machines through the '70s and '80s, and this information was issued on various corporate videos and promotional literature during that period.

I thjough I had retained copies, but must have lost them through various house moves. Graham Pearson
