I was talking to this guy I met at a flea market and he said he has a
storage device that writes data to a spool of wire. Can someone elaborate
on this?

Wire recorders for sound recording were quite common in the '40s and '50s
before the tape recorder took off. I still have one that was a combination
record player and w.r. The turntable acted as a take up reel. The wire
broke easily and was awful to splice.
