![]() "Gray Shockley" wrote in message .com... There were magnetic tape recordings used during World War 2. That's true. When I wrote "practically nobody had recording equipment back then", I was refering to individuals. Of course, there was also alot of professional disk recording equipment around in the US. I don't know what they used to record Ezra Pound and Tokyo Rose, but I've read the quality was poor. I assumed it was disks, but tape would have been preferable, because it's easily flagged for reference. Can you say, "Magnetophon"? There, I knew you could. And it was off an USA invention, at that.

Back when I was in college, the main library there had magazines in the stacks going back to just after WW II, mostly the Gernsback ones (what later became Radio-Electronics). One issue, of probably Radio News, had a feature on a field reporters sound recorder that used phonograph type mechanical cutting on a flexible tape. About the size of a suitcase or portable typewriter. I think the tape was continuous, threaded on a bunch of pulleys. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |
