Convention Paper

The Austrian Pfleumer Invented and Introduced Magnetic Tape

Authors: Thiele, Heinz H. K.

AES Convention 92 · Paper 3236 · March 1992

Abstract

Preservation and restoration of tape recordings presupposes the existence of magnetic tape. That's a platitude. In Vienna it seems justified to report upon the life and activities of a man-the Austrian engineer Pfleumer-who in 1928 not only invented magnetic tape but, in contrast to inventors before him, succeeded in the realization and application of his idea.
