Watched a DVD tonight of Desk Set with Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn. It opened with a shot of what purported to be an IBM 402 printing. Purported because the printing on the paper was centered on the page while the type bars were only shown rising and falling on the left. Someone once said that the type bars of the 402, some alphanumeric & some numeric, rose and fell like the tides of the sea and damn near as fast.

Anyway, it brought back memories. Anyone else remember the old 402?
