Tape Recording Featuring Works of Peter, Paul & Mary, 1972
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.
