Microcassette _8451
For Monday April 23 - any object made of “Plastic”
Sony 60 Minute Blank Microcassette Tape MC-60
The Microcassette is an audio storage medium, introduced by Olympus in 1969 - was originally designed to replace the Standard Music Cassette. When this didnt happen, they targeted the dictation market used mostly for recording voice. In particular they are used in dictation machines and answering machines. Microcassettes have also been used in computer data storage and to record music. What I learnt today is that in some parts of the world they were used in stereo hi-fi decks (Popular Science article from 1981) - Now I Know.
They are often confused with Mini Cassette but are slightly smaller (5cm x 3.5cm) OR (2" x 1 3/8").
Happy Macro Monday to all ...
