I honestly don't see the connection between a cassette tape and a pencil. I think that means I'm too young. This is weird. I'm on the reverse end of my older relatives not understanding new things.

When your tape player ate the tape and pulled it out of the cassette, you stuck the pencil into the tape sprocket to use to rewind the tape back into the cassette.

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!

Dangit. I'm at risk.

Yeah, but what do you do with an 8-track tape?

Dang! I’m old for reals.

I remember there were 4-track cartridges before there were 8-tracks.

They had clear plastic tops and you could see the tape and geared wheels...about 1967 or so.

I think it was called a Muntz Stereo-Pac.

Looks like something from the J.C. Whitney catalog.

Ooops... Guess I need to self-isolate too.

Maybe I'll do it at the lake. Stripers are bitin'...

Well, she does have pretty eyes.

When your tape player ate the tape and pulled it out of the cassette, you stuck the pencil into the tape sprocket to use to rewind the tape back into the cassette.

By a happy coincidence, a typical hexagonal pencil could go through the hole with the facets aligned with the sprocket pins, but the edges between facets would catch the pins when you turned it. It's a pretty narrow range of sizes to do that, so the pencil was really the perfect tool.

Now someone has to build a 5.3:1 upscale of a cassette to go with a certain rocket.
