Extraordinarily flat frequency response at zero dB recording levels, combined with remarkably low noise levels, means music is captured live. Then Permapass. our unique oxide-bonding process, locks each oxide particle—each musical detail—onto the tape. So music stays live. Not just the 1st play. Or the 1000th. But forever.
We've engineered every facet of our transport mechanism to protect the tape. Our waved-wafer improves tape-wind. Silicone-treated rollers insure precise alignment and smooth safe tape movement. To protect the tape and mechanism, we've surrounded them with a remarkable cassette housing made rigid and strong by a mold design unique to Memorex.
We'll guarantee the cassette.
We'll guarantee them forever.
If you ever become dissatisfied with Memorex High Bias II, for any reason, simply mail the tape back and we'll replace it free.

police radar.
James Denney, KU's director of police, said radar guns allowed police to clock speeders accurately without endangering the drivers.
"They're invaluable." Denney said. "With radar you don't have to pace speeders or clock them with a stopwatch."
And, Demney said. "A stopwatch is not really fair to violators. There are too many human faults."
Police have used radar for the last 30 years to detect and identify speeding motorists. But a dilemma has surfaced recently about the efficacy of radar and its use as evidence in court.
"I don't feel sorry for people who get caught by radar. I don't fair to the rest of the community to them," she said.
In A 1978 speeding case in Florida, a Dade County judge refused to allow radar readings to be recorded.
Judge Alfred Nesbitt found that radar alone was too unreliable to sustain a speeding conviction. He dismissed 80 radar cases after the defense produced evidence that showed police radar clocking a tree at 84 mph and a house at 30 mph.
Nesbitt threw the cases out because of the
radar is highly accurate," Greneker said. "And it is better than having a cigar-chomping sheriff tell you how fast you were going."
In a report written after the tests, the bureau failed to adopt any official standards, but it did make several recommendations that states have used when setting their standards.
The term radar comes from the phrase "radio detection and ranging." Radar guns operate on the Doppler effect by sending out a continuous radar beam with a specific modulation. The radar beam bounces off moving vehicles and back to an antenna.
Depending on the car's direction, the radar beam is bounced back either compressed or stretched. The car's speed is determined by the camera's angle and the distance to the original beam and the bounced reflection.
Some states have set up stringent controls on the manufacturing of radar units and on the
Stationary radar units emit only one radar signal. Move-mode radar emits a low radar signal that monitors the patrol car's speed and a high signal that calculates the target vehicle's speed. The patrol car's speed is subtracted from the target vehicle's speed and then displayed.
IN 1977, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted tests in conjunction with the National Bureau of Standards on six different models of radar units commonly used

officers to receive radar training onewear operating radar units.
Maj. Stuart Elliott of the Kansas Highway Patrol said that the state of Kansas did not require standards on radar usage, but that the Highway Patrol did.
The Highway Patrol requires its officers to go through 50 hours of training before operating radar units. The officers are taught how to use and how to visually estimate the speed of vehicles.
"Regular officers have a considerable amount of training before we allow them to use radar."
DENNEY SAID that all of KU's officers had been trained by a representative from Kustom Electronics, manufacturers of KU's only radar unit.
"I constantly amazed at police departments that get radar and don't train officers to use them."
Jerry Miller, customer services representative of Kustom Electronics of Chanute, one of the nation's two largest manufacturers of radar and video detectors, said he had never been upheld by Kansas courts
Neither Elliott nor Denney could recall any speeding cases successfully challenging radar's accuracy in late 2015. Each said his department's suite rate was above 90 percent in most involving radar.
