![]() While the machine was never developed commercially, it somewhat resembled the modern magnetic tape recorder in its design. Both recording and playback styluses, mounted alternately on the same two posts, could be adjusted vertically so that several recordings could be cut on the same 3⁄ 16-inch-wide (4.8 mm) strip. ![]() In playback mode, a dull, loosely mounted stylus, attached to a rubber diaphragm, carried the reproduced sounds through an ear tube to its listener. The sharp recording stylus, actuated by a vibrating mica diaphragm, cut the wax from the strip. The tape was then taken up on the other reel. The wax strip passed from one eight-inch reel around the periphery of a pulley (with guide flanges) mounted above the V-pulleys on the main vertical shaft, where it came in contact with either its recording or playback stylus. The machine was of sturdy wood and metal construction, and hand-powered by means of a knob fastened to a flywheel. It employed a 3⁄ 16-inch-wide (4.8 mm) strip of wax-covered paper that was coated by dipping it in a solution of beeswax and paraffin and then had one side scraped clean, with the other side allowed to harden. The earliest known audio tape recorder was a non-magnetic, non-electric version invented by Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory and patented in 1886 ( U.S. As of the first decade of the 21st century, analog magnetic tape has been largely replaced by digital recording technologies. Since some early refinements improved the fidelity of the reproduced sound, magnetic tape has been the highest quality analog recording medium available. The alternative recording technologies of the era, transcription discs and wire recorders, could not provide anywhere near this level of quality and functionality. It gave artists and producers the power to record and re-record audio with minimal loss in quality as well as edit and rearrange recordings with ease. Magnetic tape revolutionized both the radio broadcast and music recording industries. This German invention was the start of a long string of innovations that have led to present-day magnetic tape recordings. Prior to the development of magnetic tape, magnetic wire recorders had successfully demonstrated the concept of magnetic recording, but they never offered audio quality comparable to the other recording and broadcast standards of the time. ![]() The use of magnetic tape for sound recording originated around 1930 in Germany as paper tape with oxide lacquered to it. Tape-recording devices include the reel-to-reel tape deck and the cassette deck, which uses a cassette for storage. In its present-day form, it records a fluctuating signal by moving the tape across a tape head that polarizes the magnetic domains in the tape in proportion to the audio signal. 1978Īn audio tape recorder, also known as a tape deck, tape player or tape machine or simply a tape recorder, is a sound recording and reproduction device that records and plays back sounds usually using magnetic tape for storage.

There are also two small front pockets in which you can store additional batteries, memory cards and leads. It's ideal for mirrorless camera users you'll be happily able to fit one body in it with a lens attached, while there's plenty of space for an additional (short focal length) lens. We judge photographers by the photographs we see.With internal dimensions of 254 x 152 x 101mm, The Bowery is nicely compact. I should probably sell it, but I've gotten enough use out of it at times that I hesitate to. I can get more in a canvas Bowery than I can in the notably larger Hadley Small. I do have a Hadley Small and it was a nice match when I was shooting Fuji and m43 gear, but I've never found a useful way to fit a DSLR and a few lenses into it - just too narrow front to back I think. That's doubly true of the Hadley Pro and I wouldn't even want to carry it around partially loaded because it's a freaking BIG bag. But fully loaded, I'd never carry it as an every day bag. I have an Ona Prince Street or Brixton (I honestly don't remember which it is), which is smaller than the Hadley Pro and it's large enough to take everything I want when I travel and small enough not to get in the way when I just carry a smaller subset of my full travel kit on a day to day basis once I get where I'm going. ![]() The Hadley Pro is too big for me - it's like the larger Onas in the sense that if I fill it up, I'll never carry it.

Something about the sling style and really wide shoulder strap just works! Ugly as sin, though, but sometimes you can't have looks and function all at once.

My canvas Bowery, OTOH, is both lighter and roomier - all in all a more practical bag. I have a leather Bowery but I basically just use it if I'm only taking a couple of point and shoots and a set of headphones or something. Every time I pick up a leather ONA Bowery I'm surprised at how heavy it is. I'd much rather go with canvas, especially with the smaller bags. ![]() But I will say that I find the leather ONA bags to be heavier than they need to be. ![]() That's why I got rid of those bags in favor of Domkes and others a few years ago, and now basically just use the Bowery for small loads and the Turnstyle 10 for heavier loads They're so well padded and compartmentalized and they're so pliable to begin with, that I always found it difficult to find what I was looking for and get stuff in and out in a hurry while I was out shooting.
