IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO RECORDING MACHINES

摘要

A machine for recording events onto either or both of an audio or video tape and in particular a type of recording machine used by police forces to record interviews with suspects. The machine is provided with a timing device for recording the running time of the tape or the actual time, onto at least one track of at least one of said tapes. An embodiment of the invention is characterised in that there is a single timer device which records time onto both the audio and video tape simultaneously so that an observer can tell if he is watching and listening to events which occurred simultaneously.
