New tape could solve JFK mystery

.... The sound of the event was caught by the radio on a
nearby police motorcycle, and captured on a plastic
Dictaphone belt at police headquarters.

.... The sound recording had not been used by the
original Warren Commission investigation,

.... Despite its apparently crucial role in the case,
the Dictaphone belt has not been played or copied since
1990, because of fears over its deteriorating state.

.... Now scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory have begun digital scanning of the belt to
make a modern copy.
