Very surprising it would use paper and not
magnetic. I guess it could be done but seems unintuitive.

A
good friend of mine who was a long-time ham and
collector died a few years ago in Cleveland. His wife
has been slowly disposing of his collection to a local
ham there, who was his childhood friend.
I
was talking with this fellow this afternoon and he told
me that one of the items he is unfamiliar with is a
paper tape recorder-player that uses tapes about 4
inches in width on 6 inch diameter spools. I was
thinking this was something possibly FBIS - RID related
but seeing the photo (attached,) it must be naval and
possibly early post-war or late wartime. Interestingly,
there are cases of unused paper tapes in the garage
there,
Do
you or the museums possibly have any interest in this?
I would hate to see it get deep-sixed. I can give you
the guy's phone number if so. He is in his 80's and
doesn't have a computer or E-mail.
The
tag says "Recorder Reproducer, Sound, RD-115/N and
BuShips. He says it records in a crosswise circular
pattern or something like that.
Best
wishes for the holidays!
