In a magnetic tape recorder, a system that begins playback of the second tape track upon completion of the first track. The reversal is achieved by a foil sensing tape at the proper point on the magnetic tape, or by means of a signal on the tape. In earlier cassette devices there was a mechanism to turn the cassette over for playback of the second track. The foil sensing or signal systems require two playback heads, one for each direction.
