Talk:Wire recording

message: I'm new to wikipedia, so I'm not sure what is allowed to be included and what isn't, but the link at the bottom of this page seems to be more of an advertisement than a source of information.  Should it be removed?
: I think you're right; the link more of an advertisement than information, so I've removed it. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 00:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Woodie Guthrie Live Wire 

message: Anyone know if you can record over a wire that has been recorded on?  Is there an erase head?  Is there a special process for erasing? NickD 02:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: All the mains powered audio recorders that record and replay that I have seen were equipped with an 'erase head' (though it is nothing more than a coil powered from the mains transformer).  However, record only machines (presumable for field use) rarely have erase heads as the batteries are unable to provide the power required. 86.179.167.116 (talk) 16:53, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Re-recording/erasing

message: "Nearly hair-thin" wire would probably be nearly (or entirely) unusable, and hideously expensive to make as well. I don't know of a proper source, but this site: ( https://psap.library.illinois.edu/format-id-guide/wire ) suggests tenths-of-a-millimeter scale wire. Presumably there's a proper source out there as well.

replies: text: Thanks for the note. I removed the reference to hair and swapped in some actual figures for wire diameter, taken from Semi J. Begun's book about the history of magnetic recording, published in 1949. Binksternet (talk) 17:27, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recording Wire 

message: In another "Hogan's Heroes" episode (Don't remember which,) I recall the team receiving a care package from somebody's "granny," which contained a pair of socks. They unraveled one of the socks, and extracted a wire that had been knitted into the fabric. When they played it on their machine, it proved to be recorded with orders, sending them on a dangerous mission.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.75.33.51 (talk) 19:31, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Notable Use? 

message: Some of the interviews with former slaves conducted by the WPA between 1936 and 1938 were recorded. I'm not sure if they were recorded on wire recorders as recording phonographs are a possibility, but those interviews probably antecede Boder's holocaust recordings.Bill (talk) 05:54, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: First Oral History Recordings?

message: Here are two articles that show that the Recordgraph using Amertape grooved film was used in the way credited to wire recorders. I'm not certain how to go about fixing it. Could a real editor do that?
