Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Brush Soundmirror BK-401 was the fist American production magnetic tape recorder (1946). Prior to WW2, Brush did make magnetic "tape" recorders, but they used coated paper tape, rather than synthetic tape. The "real" (synthetic) magnetic tape was developed in the 1930s and 40s in Germany, and "discovered" by the Americans in 1945, although the technology was public well before the war began. By 1948 the technology spread to places like Indonesia, where this unit was photographed. |
