The Associated Press, in an article on December 18, 1943, called this contraption "compact." It was a tape recorder that was available for consumers. "It can be plugged into a microphone, radio, or telephone for recording; then a flip of a switch sets the machine to play the record back," the press service reported excitedly. "The tape permits eight hours of recording or playing without changing. The inventor, Jay Fonda, a longtime cinema sound man, got his idea from the movie soundtrack." They added that the device "might upset the recording industry."
