It was a Dictaphone logger. Used either 10 or 14 inch reels and ran at 15/16
IPS (half the speed of a cassette). You could get an entire day's audio on one
reel. Awful quality though.

Subject: [BC] logging question
A friend of mine (who used to work at the same station I did back in the
mid 1970s) and I were thinking back to how the PD used to have to record
everything that went out on the air-- but we were trying to recall the name
of the piece of equipment that did it. It wasn't a skimmer-- it recorded
everything, not just what the jocks said when they opened the mike. My
recollection was the equipment recorded at a very very slow speed and
ultimately, it recorded over itself, but I vaguely recall having to check
it and make sure it was recording. I don't even recall why we used to have
to do it, but every day, we recorded everything. Does anybody remember
what I am talking about-- it was some kind of a logger... it looked almost
like a dictaphone or something...
