1/4" Inch Consumer Open Audio Reel to Reel Tape Transfers  Oxford UK

¼-inch open reel tape (1949 – 1980s)  

Domestic Reel to Reel Audio Tape Conversions to CD or Digital Files

Domestic tape recorders used ¼-inch tape with speeds of 1⅞ inches per second, 3¾ inches per second, or 7½ inches per second. Faster speeds allowed better fidelity, but used more tape. Reels were up to seven inches in diameter, most commonly with plastic reels but metal was also used, which fitted over a splined ¼-inch shaft known as a cine spindle. The most common reel sizes were seven, five and three inches in diameter.
