[peel] Reel to reel tapes

[John Bravin]

Now this is a bit nostalgic, but at the end of each tape there is that 
unique reel-reel 'abrupt ending of the recordings' as the tape runs out 
and the last bit goes past the heads   I can almost see the reel 
spinning uncontrollably as the loose end beats itself to death until you 
wake up and switch it off.
