The compact audio cassette is simply a cassette-based (and smaller) version of the older reel-to-reel tape format. It consists of two miniature reels, between which an oxide-coated plastic tape, or magnetic tape, is passed and wound. These reels (along with some other mechanical parts) are held inside a protective plastic shell. Four single audio tracks are available on the tape. These are paired to produce two stereophonic tracks - one played when the cassette is inserted with its 'A' side facing up, and the other when it is turned over (with the 'B' side up), thus mimicking gramophone records. All cassettes include a write protection mechanism to prevent re-recording and accidental erasure of important program material. Each side of the cassette has a plastic tab on the top that may be broken off, leaving a small indentation in the shell. This indentation allows the entry of a sensing lever which prevents the operation of the recording function when the cassette is inserted into a cassette deck. If the cassette is held with one of the labels facing the user and the tape opening at the bottom, the write-protect tab for the corresponding side is at the top-left. If later required, a piece of adhesive tape can be placed over the indention to record over the "protected" material, or (on some decks), the lever can be manually depressed to record on a protected tape. Extra care is required when doing this with high bias tape cassettes; the additional indents (adjacent to the write-protect tabs) used to differentiate them from normal bias cassettes should not be inadvertently covered up. One manufacturer, Bib, even made small plastic inserts to fit into the record tab indent, and a special tool for removing them.
