After his studie he make a contract with the company Stadler (Technisch-wissenschaftliches Büro). With the beginn of the Thirties, Karl Daniel find many solutions for his telefon-answering-mashines.
About this construction, he thaught about a recording and playback- mashine for voice and sound.
After the first problems, he find a way to change the soundwalz into an endless soundtape. This endless soundtape could be run with a cristal picup-system.

The idea for the first "Tefifon" (Westrec / Damag) was born.
