It's a reel to reel tape symbol - the first answering machines recorded onto tape.
- DanI-S 16y agoThis question made me feel old, and I'm definitely not.
- thinkalone 16y agoLikewise, but the symbol is very simplified and pretty far removed from its original meaning at this point, so I can see how it would cause confusion. Plus, there have certainly been times when I've overlooked something that seems pretty obvious once someone points it out!
- po 16y agoSome of the first ones also recorded onto endless tape that looped around on itself. I used to love taking those things apart.
