For the 1963-4 World's Fair, I made a 3-3/4 ips 14" background music tape for a reversable Scully that was used for background music in various venues. Mine was at the daily fashion show. I also ran their PA every day- no days off- for 6 months. Some jobs have different benefits than others. For a different job, I made another tape for use in, of all things, an elevator.
