It used a stylus to record sounds by pressing a groove into a replaceable plastic belt. Previously, Dictaphone's products had used [[wax cylinder]]s as their recording medium. Along with a [[Gray Audograph]] sound recorder, a Dictabelt captured sounds recorded at the time of the [[John F. Kennedy assassination]] that were reviewed by the [[United States House Select Committee on Assassinations]]. ==See also== *[[Dictabelt evidence relating to the assassination of John F.
