Stancil logging recorder 2022 01
"Taxi and hold short for a MD-80 on two-mile final." When someone is in trouble, they might say anything to get out of trouble. They might claim something was said that was not said. The recorder is your buddy. Usually. Reel-to-reel logging recorders were made by Dictaphone, Stancil, and others. These were used to log voice-grade audio for activities such as air traffic control, railroad safety, 9-1-1 calls, and radio broadcast audio.
Some reel-to-reel machines had talking clock tracks. One recording track periodically announced of time of day so the time could be matched up with a point on the tape.
Two tape transports allowed recording to continue if a tape broke or the transport failed. These have been replaced by digital recorders which sound just as crappy but are cheaper and don't require changing tape reels. Computerized recorders can look like a 1U server and don't weight 200 pounds. Dictaphone digital recorders had the ability to search for words. You could type the word, "hammer," into a Window and the machinery would search recordings on the hard disk for every utterance of the word.

[Over the phone:] Unit calling repeat your last traffic for dispatch. [Over the radio:] Just a minute, honey.
