Tandberg  advertisement, High Fidelity, August 1963:

"Several years ago, Thor  Solberg, a Norwegian sailor, crossed the Atlantic 
in 
an authentically  duplicated version of an ancient Norwegian 'Dragon' ship. 
Daily reports of  the crossing were made on a Tandberg Tape Recorder. 
Despite 
the sea air  and motion, the Tandberg faithfully recorded the comments of 
this 
modern  Norse adventurer and represented an accurate log of the voyage. 
*Power 
was  derived from batteries and a  vibrator.*"

For the younger members on the list, a vibrator provided 60 cycle AC from  
the 6 vDC batteries, used for car radios 'in the good old days'. I'll bet 
they  didn't run the recorder long during each log.
