It worked on similar principles to the [[gramophone record]] and [[phonograph cylinder]], using grooves to store sound, but instead of a disc or cylinder it used a plastic belt (3.5&quot; wide) which rotated around a cylinder like a tank tread. The recording device created grooves by pressing into the plastic while it rotated past. There was no way to erase them, so each belt could only be used once for recording, but it could be played back many times.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictabelt Dictabelt (Wikipedia)]</div>
