History of Marryat & Scott:
Marryat & Scott was founded by Joseph Richmond in 1891. At that time, he established a small hydraulic elevator company called Richmond Lifts. In the 1900s, Howard Marryat took over Richmond Lifts and began making traction elevators. In the 1920s, Murray Scott joined the company and Richmond Lifts was renamed to Marry...at & Scott.
In the mid 1970s, Marryat & Scott developed an elevator control system called CMC-1200, which was said to be the first computerized group supervisory elevator control system in the world[1].
The company finally came to an end when Kone bought the company in 1979. It later became Kone Marryat Scott for a short period before it changed name to simply Kone in the early or mid 1980s. In addition, their operating businesses in Hong Kong and Singapore were taken over by Kone. The Singaporean branch was renamed to Kone Marryat Scott in 1982 and the name lasted until around the mid 1980s when it changed name again to Kone.
Also in 1979, some former Marryat & Scott employees formed "ALS" (Associated Lift Services) for those who did not want to work for Kone when Marryat & Scott was acquired[2].
