WTOP, Columbia1 s 50,000 watt outlet in the Nation* s capit¬ al, has initiated the use of the new and improved portable recording device, the brush tape recorder, on ’’City Desk'r and other special event programs. The brush tape recorder takes sound impressions on a smell paper tape, one-quarter of an inch wide, that is covered with a coat of iron oxide. This oxide coat acts as a preservative for the tone quality and in the frequency of use of "play-backs".
According to Clyde Hunt, Chief Engineer at WTOP, the new recorder is a vast improvement over the formerly used wire recorder because of higher fidelity of tone and the static-free quality of "play-backs” for broadcast.
