[78-L] the 'deadest' consumer audio formats?

[Dan Van Landingham]

I have to admit I was somewhat confused with the terminology regarding stereo 
reel to reel recordings.Thanks for the explanation.I've wondered about stereo 
recording for the last 40
years.Now I've been set straight.Thanks again.

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
