Alexander M. Poniatoff, Russian inventor who started off making curling tongs and branding them as machines made by Ampex (His initials plus "ex" for excellence invented a way of recording moving pictures and audio (the audio sadly later faded away) in 1949, but by the time he found a young Bing Crosby to make his machine more popular, his Ampex machine was unheard of since everyone was thinking VERA was the first. Then when the recordings made by VERA were seen and people didn't think they were very good and by the time VERA had been improved to very high standards the VERA machine had long since been uninstalled and due to the bad quality of the televised recordings nobody believed their claims and the BBC and ITV had recently signed contracts with and installed Ampex.
So, bottom line. VERA may have been the first machine to record television images but the first mass-produced (only one or two VERA's were made) videotape recorder apparatus was Ampex.
Charles Ginsburg was the head of a group of Ampex engineers who are credited with the invention of the first videotape recorder. The other engineers were Charles Anderson, Ray Dolby, Shelby Henderson, Fred Pfost and Alex Maxby. Ginsburg was elected to the National Academy of Engineers in 1973.
JVC, who incidentally sold their `beta' format to Sony. Then JVC went on with the VHS format because it was able to deliver a longer recording time in a cassette over the beta format. However, at the time the beta format provided a much better picture. The broadcast industry used a beta type of format for many years before digital became the norm, for the very reason of its superior video quality.

Unscrew all those little screws.
A cassette was invented in 1962. There were other forms of magnetic tape mad before this but none of them compared to the compact cassette.
C90 on a cassette tape means that the cassette tape runs for 90 minutes. <3
No difference - a cassette contains magnetic tape.
I have it on cassette tape. I play it on my cassette tape player.
1973! That the cassette by itself but the cassette player came out in 1980 Nope. This cannot be correct, because I owned a cassette player and plenty of cassettes for it too, at least 3 years before that (when I was in Vietnam). And they were not a new technology when I bought mine. I also owned an 8-track tape player with tapes. I always wanted a reel-to-rell because they were supposed t be the best of all. But I never got around to getting one.
