Abstract
Sometimes i try to cast my mind back to my own schooldays and remember the lessons we used to have with the tape-recorder. These lessons with the tape-recorder remain clearly imprinted on my memory, as they were very few and far between and they were nearly always a very hilarious occasion. There was always a great shout when the teacher entered carrying the instrument and then a pupil was invariably sent to find an extension cable. At last, with the assistance of some of the more technically minded pupils, the machine was made ready for use.
