The tape was recorded at 3 3/4 ips. As I understand it, the orig. recording was done on the upper track and when the the tape is flipped over it is still the top position, but is on the bottom track when viewed on the orig. (starting) direction. So the top track on the Uher comprises #1 & #2 tracks when used on a 4 track deck. And it uses #3 & #4 tracks when flipped over. On a 4 track stereo deck I'm picking up half of the lower track as well as half of the top track ( 1 & 3).
