Early Fifties Helicopter

Last evening I watched the PBS channel about the race for the Super Bomb, almost at the end of the programme it showed "Ike" being flown into the grounds of the White house in what looked like an early Bell Helicopter, the camera then followed Ike walking out across the lawn and for about 1 or 2 seconds the tail of the heli came into view, the tail rotor seemed to be horizontal,
or was I seeing things,....and if it was how did that work on countering Main Rotor torque.
