Watergate tapes were on magnetic tape, not Dictabelt
The '''Dictabelt''' or '''Memobelt''' was a form of recording medium introduced by the [[United States|American]] [[Dictaphone]] company in 1947. 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]].
