I bought a 4 track reel to reel in Japan in 1959 and they were shipping
them to the US also using a different name. I think they ere all shooting
for the Christmas market in 1959, Jack

Subject: [ARSCLIST] 4 track
I have June, 1959 as the period when commercial 4 track 1/4" stereo tapes
were introduced. They were all 7.5 ips. I assume record/playback machines
came onto the market about then.
Can anyone confir that the hardware was also introduced at the same time?
