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.
