I want to know the answer to the following question:
In what year did the company that was to become IBM form?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The company originated in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) through the consolidation of The Tabulating Machine Company, the International Time Recording Company, the Computing Scale Company and the Bundy Manufacturing Company.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
