Default Re: Air Ministry Wire Recorder

Yes modern day black boxes are orange, and I suspect they record everything digitally. But the name black box originated from somewhere, and in the early days there would be no way of recording anything other than by the pilot explaining what was happening in the cockpit. As this box is black in colour, could this be an actual "black box" flight recorder.
