NCR had a train printer also. But was more of a buss saw effect. We used
M to check hammers. Wanted line up and even color across the M.


I never saw one. Was it a licensed IBM 1403/3203 or did you make them
yourself?


We made them. We sold one to a hardware wholesaler and they complained
about the slow printing performance. They sold lots of times in dozen
amounts, and there was only one Z in the train. Installed a few more, and
speed come up to the 3000+ lines per minute rate.
