Topic: Muntz Cartridge

 | Neil Forbes Rock, Country or R. & B. - Classic Hits for me! Member since Dec 2014 252 Points | Earl Muntz's development which became the 8-track cartridge, explained simply, has just one reel of tape. As it's played, the tape peels off at the hub, runs out past the playback head, then onto the outer edge of the reel. The four "programmes" progress through when a piece of foil attached to the tape(spliced in) comes in contact with a sensor, which triggers a solenoid, which in turn switches at each successive pass, from Programme 1 through to programme 4. The track arrangements on these albums do not generally match their cassette or LP counterparts for a given album in this format. The track flow is: Prog.1 - A1, B1, A2; Prog.2 - B2, A3, B3; Prog.3 - A4, B4, A5; Prog.4: B5, A6, B6, assuming twelve cuts(tracks) in the album. |
