The Minifon P55 pocket-size magnetic-wire recorder   
  
(manufactured in Germany and marketed in the United   
  
Kingdom by EMI) is a notable example of miniaturization in   
  
the recording field. The recorder provides up to 5 hours   
  
continuous recording/playback; a choice of two recording   
  
speeds (9.1 in. and 4.55 in./second) is provided and the   
  
ratio of forward to re-wind speed is 1:6\. The motor   
  
operates from 6-12 volt D.C. sources, and the layer-built   
  
12-volt dry battery has an approximate life of 10-15   
  
hours; alternatively, the Minifon P55 may be operated from   
  
a miniature accumulator (capacity 12-15 hours), or a   
  
transformer-rectifier (110/220 volts A.C.). The dimensions   
  
of the recorder are 1 9/16 in. x 3 15/16 in. x 6 11/16   
  
in.; the weight, including batteries, is 2 lb.
