Crosby had an important role in the history of the magnetic recording industry.
Crosby was an early investor in Ampex corporation, the U.S. company that adapted WWII German wire-recorder technology (which used an A.C. bias signal to improve quality).
"He knew he would want to watch the game later — if his Pirates won — so he hired a company to record Game 7 by kinescope, an early relative of the DVR, filming off a television monitor."
