I can't read the legend on the switchs , but it looks like a console typewriter from
an IBM 1620 or similar (did the 1401 have a console). Definitely a museum piece.
Didn't someone have a 1620 minus the console? It would make a great addition to some
ones 1620 emulator...

That IBM typewriter on picture 347 looks like something more than just a
typwriter, could it be a terminal? Like the one on a PDP-1?

It?s the last two pictures at:
