Broadcasting (Jan - Dec 1935)

^QV Equally as Portable THE INSTANT RECORDER ^4 s compact as the watch in your pocket is the precisionbuilt PRESTO INSTANT RECORDER. And as accurately engineered to the fraction of an inch, for utility and strength. Broadcast stations have called the Instant Recorder a "scientific scoop" — specifying it as part of their high fidelity equipment. Discard old fashioned recording methods — get PRESTO! The Recorder comes complete in two handsome cases. It can be carried with ease by one man. The portability and flexibility of this unit make it possible for it to fill countless jobs around the studio and transcription laboratory, that ordinarily would require expensive installations. RECORDING EQUIPMENT IN ITS MOST CONVENIENT FORM Another noteworthy Presto achievement: THE GREEN SEAL DISC! NOW — received with general acclaim by the field. Heavy chemically coated disc on an aluminum base — the GREEN SEAL DISC is the result of years of continuous research and development. The characteristics of these discs are such that many broadcasting stations are using them for transcription purposes. EVERYTHING FOR RECORDING— FROM A NEEDLE TO A COMPLETE STUDIO INSTALLATION.
