In this section we take a look “behind the scenes” to see how the weekly edition is put together.
1. The magazine is recorded in advance on side B of the tape ready for the news to be added to side A.
2. Tapes are removed from their pouches and then separated.
3. The tapes are then cleaned using a special erasing machine.
4. The tapes are then rewound so the new edition can be copied from the beginning.
5. The administration is completed with all the returned tapes marked on the register.
6. The team gathers round the recording table to record this week’s news edition.
7. This is the little room where our multi copiers are housed so that the master tape can be copied quickly on to individual tapes.
8. The tapes are checked to verify that the edition has been recorded on to each tape.
9. The tapes are placed in the pouches and then transferred to a mailbag ready to be despatched to the main post office and of course then to the listeners.
