Re: Wearite tape recorder?
Something else I remember about it was that it was twin speed, which would probably place it in the late '50s at the earliest. I suppose that the tape had to be used, despite the anachronism, so the story could continue with the voice of the child speaking after the tape had run through (the child was present) while not being noticed straight away. A disk recorder would have some crackle in the recording so it would have been immediately apparent when it came to an end and the 'live' voice started.
