  Wire recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wire recording is a type of analogue audio storage in which the recording is made onto thin steel or stainless steel wire.
Wire recording's most widespread use was in the 1940s and early 1950s, following the development of inexpensive designs licensed internationally by the Brush Development Company of Cleveland, Ohio and the Armour Research Foundation of the Armour Institute of Techology (later Illinois Institute of Technology).
The audio fidelity of wire recording made on one of these post-1945 machines was comparable to a 78-rpm record or one of the early tape recorders.

 Extracellular Electrophysiology
This is due to the fact that if a single recording electrode were flanked by two neurons of the same type at equal distance from the recording electrode, it is likely that the voltage fluctuations caused by one neuron firing an action potential would be statistically indistinguishable from the other neuron’s action potentials.
From a single "tetrode" (four wire recording electrode) it is possible to record from nearly 20 identifiable neurons in densely populated populations.
By recording from many sites of accurate spacing in a population of neurons and performing a current source density analysis, it is possible to visualize the spatio-temporal order of synaptic activity exhibited in the population.

 Wire Recorder Recording Transfer Duplication History Pictures Convert CD
A major contributor to the wire recording's poor fidelity as compared to magnetic tape was not related to the wire recorder itself, but rather the poor quality included crystal microphone that all wire recorders seemed to be cursed with.
Small pieces of broken wire falling into the mechanism (usually the result of snarls and sloppy splicing techniques) is a common problem and the cause for many wire recorder "early retirements".
Since the wire recorder electronics shares almost all the amplifiers for the playback as well as the record functions, a simple broken/dirty selector switch (depending on which pole is faulty) can often render the entire unit non functional.

 Poulsen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Smith also considered steel wire but didn't think it would be possible 'that it would divide itself up properly into a number of short magnets" to establish a magnetic pattern as a replica of currents produced by a microphone.
Wires attached to the electromagnet energised it from the voltage of a battery modulated by a microphone.
That the idea of recording sound magnetically was Poulsen's alone is proven by the fact that nobody else has ever claimed credit for the invention, unlike the situation surrounding most other electrical devices such as the telephone, phonograph, cinema, sound-on-film and television.

 Wire recordings
Some of these wires are recordings of Lehigh Valley and Reading radio broadcasts from the late '40s and early '50s, home recordings of the family singing & playing the piano, some Bible readings and hymns, and general clowning around in front of the microphone.
Wire machines were never in widespread use; sold only from the late '40s to the early '50s, the machines were quickly replaced by much more convenient and better-sounding tape recorders developed for the home market.
Most of the wires sent to me haven't been heard for 45 or 50 years, some have never been played back at all, and the contents of many of the spools are a mystery.

Eleven unidentified UC Berkeley students will soon see subpoenas from the recording industry after they were sued earlier this month for allegedly sharing files on the file-sharing network I2Hub.
Officials from the Recording Industry Association of America, which hailed the ruling as a necessary step to protect artists, did not indicate an intention to increase the number of lawsuits following Monday's ruling.
Mitch Bainwol, the chief executive officer of the recording industry association, said in a press conference Monday that file sharing has survived partly because students do not understand the difference between right and wrong when it comes to copyright law.

The Outdoor Miner single was poised to be Wire's breakthrough song in their native England in 1979 until the British Market Research Bureau, compilers of the BBC charts, withdrew the single on allegations EMI had improperly hyped the single's sales.
As a result, Wire narrowly missed appearing on the influential Top Of The Pops television program, and remained a band with credible cult status but no hit records.
Choosing one Wire song for this project is particularly apt in light of the band's 1991 album The Drill — which contains nine reworkings of the title track.
