thanks for posting this! pretty awesome find. being only 25 its hard for me to imagine a time when this was actually happening. hopefully never again!
Thank you very much for posting that. I work in the recording industry and I often wonder what will happen to all our digital art and history. What happens to it in a 1000 years? I can still go Rome and look at art and architecture that is 2000 years old. Much of it is in ruins but enough remains as to present a clear picture of the society that produced it.
Your laptop wont be working 70 years from now like that wire recorder.
Wow, that was absolutely chilling, I can see what everyone was so afraid of the end of the world back in the cold war, like something out of Dr. Strangelove...
it's a small wonder that they didn't blow us sky high and we're still here to listen to this today.....like the wire recorder! better quality than i expected.i had no idea wire was ever used to record sound.
It took about 33 seconds from the time of that blast to the sound reaching the recorder. That makes the blast site around 7 miles way if the speed of sound used is around 340.29 m/s.
This is the best or one of the best i have seen or heard that portrays the distance of the blast via 26 second delayed yet HUGE sound wave that is recorded here.
yes imagine if we have word war 3 then we would not have to worry about vintage collector items such as this.
awesome, you need to put this on cdr and sell them on ebay!!!
very cool, man is stupid for atomic testing, USA has done over 1,000 atomic tests over the years and that is why my son has autism!!! thank you America..........
duh??? exactly my point, radiation damages your sperm, think a little why don't you, please...............what does radiation have to do with birth defects and mental issues, mmmmm', i wonder, think think think.......do research, I think you have autism, even my son gets it, radiation = dna damage.... aduh'.
that is a historic wire recording! possibly from the archives of a radio station! save that, and make some copies to, on cd, and maybe reel to reel tape if you can, to save for the future! ive never actually seen a wire recorder up close, and they were sort of a mystery to me so i looked this up. this gave me a better idea of how they work and the quality they have. its very clear but it has a limited range. thanks for upping this great vid! do you know how fast the wire moves in ips
Really sounds great for an ancient recording method!

you know if there's any videos of steel tape recorders? from what I've read, they were quite something to deal with.

I Believe this recording is of very high historical value, please record it for posteritys sake. (and maybe put the results on archive,org?)
I almost ache to hear the rest of this wire and the others.

If the wire recorder has a headphone output, you can get better audio by connecting the recorder to the camera using a patch cord.

The Icelandic National Broadcasting service keeps its oldest stuff on a wire like this.

Very cool video!
A little research shows that this test (the 22nd on American soil, as the voiceover tells us) was done in 1952 as part of Operation Tumbler-Snapper.

Watching a machine from the 1940's live and breathe is like seeing into the 1940's.
Would not be bothering with squawk boxes. Just get a real amplifier.
