Method and apparatus for recording and reproducing a message with an indication of a time occurrence

摘要

A message received through a telephone line is recorded by a tape recorder associated therewith in which a time instance at which the recording is started is memorized together with a specific count of pulses produced in synchronism with a transportation of the tape. When the message is to be reproduced, the specific count is compared with a current count and when the two coincide with each other the memorized time instance is indicated.
