British Tape Recorders or BTR machines were reel-to-reel tape recorders initially made by EMI in England after World War II. They were the first magnetic tape recorders to be manufactured in Britain, and their design imitated that of the tape recorders used by the Germans during the war. Because these multi-track recorders were painted EMI green, they then became known as the "Green Machines". The TR90 was a smaller, more portable unit. It was available in a stereo version, and was used professionally on EMI Remote recordings, as well as at Hayes, EMI's manufacturing complex.

| - British Tape Recorders or BTR machines were reel-to-reel tape recorders initially made by EMI in England after World War II. They were the first magnetic tape recorders to be manufactured in Britain, and their design imitated that of the tape recorders used by the Germans during the war. Because these multi-track recorders were painted EMI green, they then became known as the "Green Machines". The first model made was named the BTR1. The BTR1 machines were first created in 1947, but superseded by the BTR2 mono machine in 1952. The BTR2 was made in greater quantity, being used not only at EMI studios but at the BBC. Many studios later purchased ex-BBC units, so quite a few were found in non-EMI London studios. The BTR3 recorder was initially intended to support 2 or 4 tracks, but the only machines produced were the stereo (2-track) machines, the 4-track version having been rejected at the prototype stage. Only a few of these BTR3s were built, and the only known use of them is at the Abbey Road Studios during the 1960s, where they were used for all stereo recording and disc mastering. A BTR3 tape recorder, previously used at Abbey Road, was found by former Radio Glen Technical Manager Henry Walmsley, and members of Surge Radio, the student-run radio station of the University of Southampton, at one of the University's Halls of Residence (Glen Eyre Halls) in February 2017. It had been in use at the station—where it was known as 'The Beatle'—until around 2001. The TR90 was a smaller, more portable unit. It was available in a stereo version, and was used professionally on EMI Remote recordings, as well as at Hayes, EMI's manufacturing complex. The company made a BTR-5 model recording machine, the initials standing for Broadcast Tape Recorder. Mono and twin-track BTR reel-to-reel recording machines were used in the making of the first two Beatles albums. Mono and stereo BTR machines were used to mix down the 4 and 8 track masters of later albums recorded on Telefunken, Studer and 3M multi-track machines. (en)

Como estos grabadores se pintaron de verde, eran conocidos como "green machines" (es: máquinas verdes). El primer modelo fabricado fue nombrado BTR1. Las máquinas BTR1 se empezaron a fabricar en 1947, pero fueron sustituidas por la máquina mono BTR2 en 1952 (con corriente de polarización, dándoles una mejor fidelidad). El BTR2 se fabricó en mayor cantidad, y este no solo se emplea en los estudios de EMI, sino también de la BBC. Años más tarde muchos estudios adquirieron unidades que pertenecieron a la BBC, por lo que un buen número se encuentran en los estudios EMI de Londres. La grabadora BTR3 fue diseñada inicialmente para de 2 o 4 pistas, sin embargo solo se llegaron a producir algunos modelos de 4 pistas, por haber sido rechazada en la fase de prototipo. Sólo unos pocos de estos BTR3 fueron construidos, sólo se conoce de su uso en los famosos estudios Abbey Road durante la década de 1960, donde fueron utilizados para todas las grabaciones estéreo y masterización de álbumes. El TR90 fue un equipo de grabación portátil más pequeño, y se utiliza profesionalmente en EMI. La compañía Otari hizo una máquina de grabación modelo BTR-5, las iniciales de pie para Broadcast Tape Recorder. Los equipos mono y de doble vía BTR se utilizaron en la elaboración de los dos primeros álbumes de The Beatles. (es)
