IBM 402 printing tabulator

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?
