Electronic Secretary, invented by Joseph Zimmerman. This unit was made after General Telephone and Electronics Inc. acquired the Electronic Secretary Co. in 1957.

The unit still has its original tapes.

I am not sure of the model number, but it would have been a later unit - the actual unit is still in my barn waiting for the snow to melt! - I took this photo last fall. It was found in a lot from Don Woodbury, Although the tape transport need to be cleaned, the unit still works. It will be incorporated in the Museum GTE/AE displays this spring.
