You are correct. Tape recorders came along in the late 40s, in pocket form in the late 1950s. Google “minifon”. You could get a neat wristwatch microphone for spy work, and a body harness to conceal the recorder under your clothing. The original Minifon was a wire recorder, later a tape recorder.

The color Dragnet movie has one of those mini wire recorders.
