If 3M didn&#8217;t make videotape before the debut, then who did?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the answer&#8230;Reeves Sound Craft, headed by none other than Hazard Reeves. Most of us know the Reeves name from Reeves Teletape, but he has an amazing background that we&#8217;ll look at tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>As for the videotape, I think Reeves had a plant in Connecticut that began making audio tape in 1950. Remember, RCA was also working on videotape and in the photo below, we see Reeves with RCA&#8217;s David Sarnoff and a reel of his videotape. I think this photo is from around 1953. If you have a Hazard Reeves story, let us know!
