I once worked on a project that was supervised by someone who was qualified to supervise street maintenance crews. The original budget was $250M. It came in at $480M. A similar project after that was budgeted at $300M it was supervised by an experienced professional. It came in at $280M!
I have also seen the street painted direction of “SOTP.”

Many of us learned to splice tape out of necessity.
And in those days you could always find similar cassettes on the road side that were tossed out the window by frustrated drivers.

I remember diving for the eject button as soon as the audio started to sound off, hoping to catch it before it ate too much of the tape.
On a side note I used to cut tapes down to the size of the album I was copying. I'd record the longest side first, cut the tape snap it into the wheel and record the shorter side.
I also remember spicing the tape in an 8-track back together that got eaten, but my Dad was worried it might mess something up so he didn't use it...
Wow, I wish I'd thought of that! I used to make a lot of tapes, and it was always a pain having to FF or REW when changing sides!
