Although there is little online about the earlt Ampex drives because they were goverment
only.
The following id from the Ampex timeline:
1950 Ampex introduces the first "dedicated" instrumentation recorder, Model

1954 Ampex introduces the first multi-track audio recorder derived from multi-track data
recording
technology.
