Ok well, I'll do my best. Generally the setting does not look like quite like a typical data entry room, you wouldn't get the tape drives in an office environment. could be wrong tho.
It looks typical film set up from IBM publicity unit - note the blue walls.
On entry at 2:44 he is leaning over a large line printer.
at 3:13 he types on an IBM 2741 or similar data entry terminal (basically a golfball typewriter with electronics.)
At 3:21, the thing behind him with the TV screen and large IBM logo is all fake.
At 3:40 he slaps a deck of punch cards into an IBM punch card reader, could be a 2541, they do get read in.
At 4:11 he is fiddling on the side of an IBM 3420 (could be a 2420) tape drive, no idea why he is fiddling at the side of the control panel, there is nothing there. The tapes do move, so they must be channel connected to a controller.
At that point I lost the will to live.
