Entry into the magnetic tape field represents a new but not unexpected step for Kodak, the company's announcement said. Kodak's French associate company, Kodak Pathe, has been producing and selling quality tape abroad for more than twelve years in a program that has been backed by extensive research and development in France and in Rochester laboratories. Initially, Kodak magnetic tape will be supplied for professional and amateur sound recording uses. It will be on triacetate base and packaged in rolls !4-inch wide in standard lengths. M. Wren Gabel, Kodak vice-president and general manager, said that the company's long experience with film manufacturing technology affords it a good background for the production of quality tape. "Kodak's traditional concern in film making for cleanliness and uniformity of product, for knowledge of emulsions and bases, for advanced coating techniques, all relate well to tape production," Gabel said. Sale of tape for the popular homerecording uses will be through Kodak's regular distribution organization of established photographic dealers, many of whom are already familiar with the sale of tape recorders and related materials, he said. In its professional motion picture film business, the company has also been in close touch with customers who use professional magnetic tape, and the professional motion picture sales division of the company will handle the distribution of Kodak tape to this professional trade, Gabel said. 10 International Projectionist March 1961
