Also.. in the 1930s the BBC was surprised at the excellent audio quality of Hitler's speaches in various cities. Turns out it was because of the advanced German wire recorders.

Back then the tape recorder, just like we know it today, had already been invented. (The patent is dated at 1928) It started to work really well in 1935. Wire recorders always had their problems. The wire tended to turn so the magneticed sides of the wire never were where they were supposed to be. This is most definitely not an origin of digital recording.

An Edison Labs product. this is the evolution of the recording and backup systems used for storing dictations for further dactilography in offices, that began with the phonograph and the wax cylinder in early 1900s.

It is the beginning of all digital transmission of data. This should be in “Origins” also.
