Pentagon Products was founded by Arthur M. Johnson after he retired from the navy in Washington, D.C."The company was a specialty tool and machine-making company." Carlton Hinman invented his collator, but after a short attempt at selling the machine, "completely turned over the business of making and selling collators to Johnson."
