The braille side always indicates the first side of a cassette. Insert cassettes into the machine braille side up. There are usually 15 to 20 seconds of blank tape before recorded material begins. Rewind until the tape stops in the machine, press the stop button, and restart the tape. Should tape spill out of the cassette into the machine, stop the machine and gently remove the cassette, placing it on top of the machine. Grasp the tape between forefinger and thumb, gently pulling toward the rear of the machine until the tape is free. To take up slack, hold the cassette with the exposed tape toward you, insert a pencil downward through the lefthand spindle 'hole, and rotate it clockwise. Be careful not to allow the tape to twist while doing this. When the second side of a cassette has been read, allow the tape to run to the end, so the next reader will find Side One completely rewound. Replace cassettes into the trays braille side up. Place defective cassettes in the trzys braille side down, returning the entire book to the regional library. Tie, a string to the strap of the container to call attention to any damaged cassettes inside. Your regional library will gladly try to solve any problems encountered in handling cassettes. Complete information on operation and handling of the' machine and cassettes is contained in the instructional cassette supplied with each Library of Congress cassette machine. ComMents and suggestions on how this service can be improved 'are always welcome.
