constant source of problems, i.e. :
Master tape recorder requests number approximately
10 per week. This is a method of attempting to
duplicate an officers report after an input failure.
Tape life ($2.20 each) is virtually non existent as the
present recorders and playback devices frequently
destroy these expensive tapes.
Of the present eight (8) playback transcribers all
have been repaired at least once in the past six (6)
months. Two of the machines have been taken out
of service due to extensive problems.
Of those in
daily use all require insertion of the tape and then
firmly pressing down the cassette cover, a two hand
procedure. Failure to do so causes the machine to
be inoperative.
Volume fluctuates constantly due to input and play-
back variations.
