Tapete - The enduring audio format you (probably) haven’t heard of

Tapete was an audio tape cartridge format that brought joy to tens of thousands of people around the world and yet it's quite likely this will be the first time you've heard about it. 00:00 Start 01:08 History 03:57 Specs & Controls 05:13 Tape Repairs 06:06 First demo 06:46 Machine Repairs 08:30 Second Demo 10:30 Track configuration 12:50 Legacy 14:33 Credits Resources & References RNIB https://www.rnib.org.uk/talking-book-machines-evolution https://www.rnib.org.uk/rnibconnect/ten-facts-about-talking-book Victorian Collections - Vision Australia https://victoriancollections.net.au/items/587d9009d0cde7206447b7c1 If you want to know more about Clarke & Smith - I recommend reading the PDF linked at the bottom of this page http://www.ferrographworld.com/c&s.html Special thanks to Alexander for loaning his Tapettes. FAQ Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today? A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. Q) Why weren’t the controls labeled with Braille? (a question which could only come from a sighted person). A) If you use something every day - you know where it is and how it works. You don’t see ‘Light Switch’ written above a light switch - or ‘Door Handle’ on a door handle....you get the idea. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.
