PREVENTION
Tape cassettes
have special
plastic
tabs, one
for
side
one and
one
for side
two, which, if
removed,
prevent
accidental erasure
of
recorded
material.
These tabs can be
pushed
out
with a
screwdriver
or similar
tool. lf they are
not in the
cassette,
the
recording
cannot be
made. lf
,
for any
reason, it is later desired
to
make a recording on
a cassette
from which the tabs
have
been
removed, it is
possible
to do so by simply covering
the
holes
where the tabs
were with cellophane
tape,
and
then
record
in the usual
way.
