     Yes I know how to work with dictabelts. They're almost as fun to work 
     with as wire's. Anyway send me a description of what you've got just 
     to make sure we're talking about the same thing. And if you have those 
     red (or blue) vinyl floppy belts then I'll tell you what we're in for.

Hello ARSC members,
     
I am the Non-print Conservator for the Emory University libraries in 
Atlanta Georgia.  The other day one of the librarians brought me a pack 
of  Dictaphone belts.  Does anyone know how to determine if their is 
recorded information on the belts, will the recorded signal look like an 
optical sound track?  Are there any companies that can transfer the 
recordings on the belts to a modern format?
     
If anyone has any information regarding dictaphone belts you can either 
post the information or send it to me directly.
     
Thank you,
Lance Watsky
