As an alternative, perhaps there could be a cursed recorder... a reel-to-real player, upon which the subjects of certain tapes can manifest in the material world when played. Or, a real-to-reel player, which plays a litany of the damned souls of listeners who, over the years, have been sucked in and bound as a recording.

Marconi also developed a sort of razor-tape recording prior to that, too, which was apparently difficult to use because of its sharp edges.<br /><br />As far as the City's world goes, my stance on technological development is: the setting is <i>generally</i> late 30s, but it's somewhat different from our world (obviously).Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-58092501733158077762012-01-02T09:44:31.291-05:002012-01-02T09:44:31.291-05:00True, I forgot about that.

I have presented at least one glimpse into the World Exposition of 5889. In our world, I'm told the first "practical" magnet tape recorder was developed in 1935.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-45504203559429792522012-01-02T09:24:03.088-05:002012-01-02T09:24:03.088-05:00Remind me what the current year in your world is? ...Remind me what the current year in your world is? Basically, how long before the current year is 5882?<br />If it were a modern setting I'd expect to see a date between 1918 and 1941 on the tape, trending to the 20s or 30s.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.com
