The Telefunken system was different from the RCA system,
wasn't it?  If I remember correctly, the Telefunken
system used a "floppy" disk much like an Evatone
"Soundsheet".  I remember reading an article about it
before home VCRs hit the market.  It was a contemporary
of the holographic film system, which was also an RCA
project I believe.
