The Sangamo Electric Co <http://sangamoncountyhistory.org/wp/?p=1410> . manufactured electrical meters, time switches and sonar and radio equipment, among other items, in Springfield, IL from the 1890s until 1978.
If your US house is old enough u might still have one of their meters on the wall The device is either an instrumentation or an audio recorder, see: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/SILNMAHTL_16729 tom -----Original Message----- From: jos [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2019 9:28 AM To: Chuck Guzis via cctalk Subject: Re: Unknown 1970 Tapedrive On 29.04.19 22:28, Chuck Guzis via cctalk wrote: > On 4/29/19 12:56 PM, Jos Dreesen via cctalk wrote: > >> >> 1970, also all TTL is dated 1969 or 1970. >> >> Jos > > That would fit right in with a key-tape scheme.
