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?
