FIG.001 — ¼-INCH REEL-TO-REEL TAPE MACHINE
A tape machine stores sound as a magnetic imprint on a thin ribbon of tape. As the tape travels from the supply reel to the take-up reel, it passes three heads in turn — erase wipes the tape clean, record writes the new signal, and playback reads it straight back.
