All,
Not exactly state-of-the-art high fidelity, but anyway...
From a former employee of Carad, a Belgian manufacturer of audio equipment (disappeared in 1975), I got this picture of a tape recorder, the EMR32PA, which they manufactured around 1951-1952.
While the cabinet, power supply and the pre/amplifier look quite like their later model the R62 (production started in 1954), the mechanic middle part seems to be borrowed. It looks like a Brush Soundmirror from around 1950 or a British Thermionics Soundmirror, manufactured under license from Brush, I think.
The pictured microphone and its box have "Brush" on it.
Any pointers to more information about this tape drive mechanism would be appreciated.

It looks like an older version of the classic BSR tape mechanism used by lots of different manufacturers - but perhaps BSR copied it from there?.
It's the same lever method for play/stop/ff/rew that looks similar.
