I'm looking for information about magnetic wire recorders.
I'm also curious about the history of this technology.

Is anyone aware of any controversy on the subject?
The National Inventors Hall of Fame apparently credits Marvin Camras
with inventing wire recorders in the 1930's, while "Magnetic Recording",
by S.J. Begun, 1949, Rhinehart, credits Vladimir Poulsen with inventing
a wire recorder called the Telegraphone in the late 1890's [!]. 
I'd also be very interested in hearing from folks who have wire
recorders (or want to get rid of one) or pointers to more books and
articles.  The Begun book has bibliography I'll share with anyone
interested.

Thanks
