"Secure the washer or else your tape can then fly off" Is there a 650 ips setting on the Nagra? I'd bet she'd say record clamps are for the same thing.
"The blank tape" i.e. The take-up reel
"Made by Scotch, the same company which creates normal sticky tape today" 3M will be happy to know they're now listed as the Scotch company on Nasdaq. The damn spool she's holding says "Made by 3M" right on it.
"Past the three barrels". I guess calling them "heads" was somehow too sexist for her. Update: It got better when she called them the "Giving and receiving head" Oh baby!
I had to stop there, but I'm sure there's more gems waiting for me. Today everyone's got a video camera, so it's fair game on youtube. I've watched my share of auto or home repair videos, trying to learn how to do something. Some are great, but there's also a lot of of barely informed things out there, like, "You pick up this thing, and..." Umm, you mean a screwdriver?
Thanks Victor
