I’m a big fan of any media you have to peel.
Recorder stores TV stills
This German recorder makes stills of moving TV images.Video pulses are fed through a recording head to a magnetic-foil disk (background above) spun at 3,000 r.p.m. Scanning speed is 2,000 inches a second. A pushbutton starts the cycle for an instantaneous single picture.
A playback feeds the stills to another TV set. Up to 10 can be recorded on one foil, which can be peeled off for filing.

Actually that was the way to go until the mid 80s. There was essentially no other way of storing multiple still frames and displaying them.
In fact a bit later devices have been build which could store 30 seconds of still frames (at 30 fps). In the 70s there even was an early non-linear editing system which had lots of harddisk space to store about 17 minutes of low resolution monocrome videos.

Here’s a demo of the non-linear editing system.
