I remember seeing a documentary years ago that said that the Nazis invented wire and tape recording. It sounds reasonable that they may have done just that. The U-boat operator would have had to have gotten a "ready to receive" first from the shore station. I would expect then that the shore station would be recording and then play it back slowly so as to be able to read the Morse characters. Toward the end of the war Hitler got paranoid about bombing and had his speeches tape recorded and then played back on a radio station in a city where he was not. It actually fooled the Allies because they had never heard such clear playback and assumed it was live. This was another technology that the US was quick to acquire at the end of the war. Bing Crosby was very interested in tape recording and was one of the first to really exploit the medium after the war. |

Later it became a huge success. Ampex. P.S. Their main research was strictly magnetic tape recording. Audio and later video. Not wire recording as far as I remember. |

Using the Academy Curve how could you tell the difference? Incidently, for years the very highest of high end classical music recordings used magnetic film rather than tape in their production for both the better, lower distortion sound, and the lowered noise floor. I remember Command 35. I always wondered about sprocket noise. My home town got it's first 351 when we signed a contract with Army Archerd to do short features. I can rebuild 300s, 350s and 440s with my eyes closed. 600s, PR-10s, ATRs I have to have a book. I still use my wire recorders. Every once in a while, someone finds a spool of wire, and wonders what's on it. I get to transcribe it to another medium, or other media, and clean up what needs to be cleaned up. I recently did a box of spools that were sent to me from Greece, containing dictated love letters from a soldier to his intended near the end of the war. We would use them to make trip wires in the mesquites. Mostly, though I rent them out to theatre companies as props. My wire recorders have seen 'Death of A Salesman' until they can recite the dialog themselves. p I know where there's a cherry Webcor right now. |
