E o caseta fara sfarsit, de mai multe dimensiuni/durate – marca inregistrata in UK de firma Redifussion - dar inspirata atat din formatul american Fidelipac (cu rola presoare in aparat - vezi poza comparativa) cat si din formatul RCA 8-track (cu rola presoare in caseta), folosita in aceleasi scopuri; spre deosebire de modelul “mama” care avea 3, are un singur decupaj mai mare atat pt rola presoare cat si pt. intrarea capului, ceea ce conduce la concluzia ca era folosita doar pentru redare, probabil cu o viteza putin mai mica . Nefiind un succes comercial, aparatul sau e rar (v. alaturi modelul TP60). Dimensiuni: 202 x 171 x 21 mm, banda fiind similara cu cea de magnetofon; viteza benzii: probabil 9,5 cm/s, ca si "mama ".

Endless cartridge (by few dimensions/recording time) registered in UK by Redifussion Ltd., inspired from the USA Fidelipac format (w. pinch roll into player) or from 8-track format (w. pinch roll into cartridge), by comparison which has just a single larger space for pinch roll and for the playing head, so we can conclude it was used just for playing/listening. Dimensions: see above. similar magn. tape with open R-T-R recorders; tape speed: probably 9.5 cm/s as the "mother". A player for it is presented attached (model TP60).
