This is good stuff 
 
"The combined radius of the two spools is at a maximum around the middle of the tape and the clearance between them is at a minimum"

Any wrinkles or unevenness in the tape that increases the radius even slightly at this point may cause the two spools to touch each other, and the extra friction can bring things to a halt. Many years ago I had a cassette like this and the only solution was to cut the tape around the middle and put the two halves into two new cases. A bit extreme I know...Lorcan
