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.

Here's a reference I stumbled across while I was looking up something else:

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.

There was a recording device called a "BLATNERPHONE". You might try a search
on google or other engine. k35454
