Re: trivia question
Sony invented these icons in 1965. They were ratified as universal symbols in 1973 by the IEC.

Re: trivia question
nope try again. there were 'real to real' with these symbols before 1965

Re: trivia question
The pause icon wasn't around on reel to reel, that was invented when Philips invented the compact cassette.
Play, fast forward and rewind were around on reel to reel though |

Re: trivia question
I believe the pause symbol derives from the fetura musical symbol, meaning pause.
My guess for the others is the Ampex Corporation. |
Re: trivia question
That sort of thing fascinates me so I had a dive around t'interweb.
In 1961, Grundig didn't use them http://www.reelprosoundguys.com/imag...NDIG_TK_14.jpg But, by 1963 they were http://www.reelprosoundguys.com/imag...NDIG_TK_41.jpg This Sony dates back to at least 1964 http://www.mishkids.com/rzSonytapecorder.jpg Just found an even earlier Grundig which has their own weird symbols http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstr...JPG?sequence=6 Ampex is probably as gooda guess as any. Dynavox, which became ReVox, tended to use words instead of symbols |
Re: trivia question
Phillips

Re: trivia question
At a guess I would say Revox ?
