They had hard records (78s). Then, vinyl 33 & 1/3 records and 45s.
Then, Reel-to-Reel tapes (large size at first, about the size of a dinner plate). Reel-to-reel took 2 reels... 1 playing and 1 to accept the played tape. When finished, you reversed to rewind the 1st tape. The only thing bigger was movie reels used in classrooms. Movie reels used in theaters and drive thru theaters were even bigger than classroom projector movie reels.

∙ 13y agoThe VCR was really the first practical video recorder for home use. Before the VCR was introduced in 1971, there were a few open-reel video recorders sold as consumer electronics, but they were very expensive, so most people could not record video at home. (There was a thriving consumer market in the 1950s and 1960s for 8mm and 16mm movie cameras and projectors).
At television production facilities, 2-inch video tape had been the standard since 1956. Before 1956, the only means of recording television was the kinescope.
