01
Artifact Overview
The transformative effects of magnetic tape upon sound, broadcast, and computing history cannot be overstated. In 1930, German companies AEG and BASF revised wire recording technology by using a new material: plastic tape coated with magnetic iron pigment. Its proposed applications were varied, idealistic and practical: recording music and radio, factory automation, data storage, media lending libraries, and many others.
