What is a Webster Chicago 288-1 Wire Recorder?
from Living with Steam Hosted by Aaron Heverin
If portable tape recorders weren't available until around 1955, how did John Prophet capture his railroad sounds beginning in 1948? We'll learn all about the Webster-Chicago wire recorder in this episode and how John was able to work around its limitations in order to make the recordings featured on Living With Steam. This was portable "home recording" in its infancy and we'll explore how it was done.
