Records Made Of Cellophane - A new type of sound recording machine, which impresses the sound on a cellophane tape, will be shown at a special demonstration at the Book-Cadillac Hotel today and tomorrow. Developed by Jay Fonda, chief engineer of the Fonda Corp, of New York, the device utilizes an endless loop of cellophane 320 feet long, permitting up to eight hours of constant recording at a cost of 50 cents an hour. Chief uses for the recorder at present are in traffic control towers at airports and for monitoring of radio stations. After the war the makers expect it to be widely used for music reproduction in homes. Detroit Times, April 7, 1944.
