Byer Industries
Post WW2 Australian manufacturer of disc recording and replay equipment. Licensed to manufacture Magnecorder tape-recorders in the early 1950s. Byer Industries were unhappy with the mechanical stability of the Magnecorder tape transport, and so developed the type 77 Tape-Recorder, which used a cast aluminium chassis. 250 to 300 of these were used during the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. The Type 77 went through a number of revisions, and changes of manufacturer, ending with a Mk V model - solid state with digital timer.
