Who invented magnetic recording tape?

Magnetic tape for computers was introduced in 1951 on the UNIVAC i, but was probably "invented" in 1948 or 1949 while Eckert and Mauchly were trying to think of ways to get data into and out of a computer at "electronic speeds" to avoid the bottleneck of then existing electromechanical equipment. Magnetic tape for audio goes back to the 1930's, although practical civilian applications had to wait for the end of WWII. (The Germans used magnetic tape during the war, while the Allies had only wire recorders.)
