A booklet about SONY magnetic tapes. By the catalog number it looks like October 1979, a universal edition for different countries: English text, no prices. It shows every tape type and format current that year: the familiar compact cassette, the microcassette, ELCASET (it had not yet moved to Finland), open reel, Betamax, U-matic and video open reel, each line with its own specification table. The compact cassettes get a separate account of the FeCr dual coating, what it is good for, and the SP tape-winding control mechanism.
This catalog was provided by the admin of Вселенная SONY, for which the museum extends its sincere gratitude.
