Actually, the tapes shown appear to be broadcast carts. The smaller one is the
common size. We had a few of the larger sized ones at the station, too, but I
never saw anyone actually use them. Perhaps four-tracks, which I admittedly
have no experience with, use the same cartridges? At any rate, these look
exactly like the ones we'd put public service announcements, music beds,
weather reports, station IDs, etc. on.

HA, you dumb ****, those are broadcast carts. I know what a 4-track
cart looks like, I had a bunch and sold them...you dickweed...they are
NOT consumer type 4-track carts

and 4-tracks aren't see-through, and aren't as wide as that...you
really are a dumb **** wannabee. A friend worked as a radio dj, those
carts were only one song on each cart, so they were TWO TRACK endless
loop for FM stereo.

And for an AM station, they may even be MONO SINGLE TRACK.

Now, who's the "green horn" ?? This will answer the riddle:

Paul, how many carts did YOU listen to, back in 1977 ?? Look up "green
horn" in Websters, there's a picture of you
