That is a 1/4-inch stereo tape with two half-width tracks containing  
a stereo signal (or two mono signals) in only one direction; the tape  
has but one "side." Playing the tape from tail to head results in  
reversed audio. This is as opposed to a full-track tape with one mono  
signal in only one direction, a half-track tape which has one mono  
signal in each direction, or a quarter-track tape with one stereo  
signal (or two mono signals) in each direction.

Take care,


Joe
