Description

The Webster Chicago Corporation was a maker of electronic equipment in Chicago, Illinois and was a leading manufacturer of both wire recorders and reel-to-reel tape recorders.

Wire recording or magnetic wire recording was the first magnetic recording technology, an analog type of audio storage in which a magnetic recording is made on a thin steel wire. The wire is pulled rapidly across a recording head which magnetizes each point along the wire in accordance with the intensity and polarity of the electrical audio signal being supplied to the recording head at that instant.
