I was inspired by Neon-Ix's Cassette Tape "V2" scene, not to try to out-do him (the detail in his scene is much better than mine) but just because of the technical challenge of making the reels move in a realistic manner. There are a few other cassette tape scenes on Algobox, and none of them that I have seen actually change the diameter of the reels as the tape winds from one reel to the other. My scene is not very accurate as far as speeds and diameters are concerned, but I just wanted to make something that looks fairly realistic. Let me know how you like it (or don't like it).

Edit: I did find one other scene in which the diameters of the reels change as the "tape" moves from one reel to the other. Unfortunately, the tape looks more like rope or chain!

UPDATE: Corrected speed of the driving (powered) reel during FF and RW modes. Before, the speed was variable depending on the diameter of the tape coil on the reel, but that was not correct. The rotational speed of the powered reel should be constant, and the speed of the idler reel should change depending on the amount of tape on it. Also, changed the word "RUN" to "PLAY".
