The following is an example of Vintage Office Technology Circa 1946, “DICTAPHONE TELEPHONE RECORDER.” For over 115 years, the name “Dictaphone” has been synonymous with voice recording equipment. This excerpt from a Dictaphone promo film circa 1946 demonstrates benefits a telephone recorder brought to business professionals and clerical staff.
Since 1907, DICTAPHONE was a leading name in voice recording for office automation, business and personal use. Originally trademarked in 1907 by the Columbia Graphophone Company (a “descendant” of Alexander Graham Bell’s “Volta Laboratory” of 1881) Dictaphone was spun off into a separate company in 1923. Machines in this film used cylinder technology. (The following year, 1947, Dictaphone introduced its Dicta-belt that could hold 15 minutes of recording time, and produced recordings of higher quality and more permanent than wax cylinder recordings.) Trans Film Production Company, for Dictaphone Corporation. Great Color. A 7 minute excerpt of original 21 minute film.
