Spool tape recorder (A mains electricity (AC-powered) electronic device designed to record and playback audio information on a magnetic film coated on a nonmagnetic plastic material housed on an open reel; not being securely contained within a cassette. Commonly know as a reel-to-reel recorder it uses a supply reel or feed reel containing the tape that is mounted on a spindle; the end of the tape is manually pulled out of the reel, threaded through mechanical guides and a tape head assembly, and attached by friction to the hub of a second, initially empty take up reel; an arrangement is similar to that used for motion picture film. This is a general-purpose recording device that reflects old technology.)
