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.
