By Bob Angus

Like

peas

and pods,

tapes and cars are pretty

much inseparable these

days.

For

the cartridge

player

has

at last found

a home for itself -on

countless

highways and

byways throughout the nation.

If there's a

Ford

in

your

future,

you may

well

find

a stereo tape-

cartridge system in it.

And

Ford's not

alone. For

today's

boom

in

car -cartridge players is

so big

it's

second

only

to the craze

for

color TV. Some industry

optimists

even see highway

hi

-fi as

the great-

est

thing to hit the recording industry

since

the

LP.

But

what's

the

big

deal about car -cartridge

players? (They have,

after

all, been around

for

more than

a

decade.) And given

four

tracks (and

often

eight) at a tape

speed

of

33A ips

(sometimes

1%), the question is

whether

such players

produce

any stereo

worth having. In

short, just

how

bad is

highway

hi -fi?

The answer,

as well see shortly, depends

FEBRUARY -MARCH, 1967

on what

we

define

as

hi

-fi

and

which

partic-

ular

highway

hi -fi

is under discussion. For

the fact

is

that at

the moment, there's not

one

but three major

and

several minor

sys-

tems for

putting

stereo

tape

in your

car. The

majors

include

the Fidelipac

system, devel-

oped in

1956 by

George Eash; the Lear -Jet

system, introduced

in 1965

and espoused by

Ford and

RCA Victor;

and the Norelco

sys-

tem,

introduced

in 1964 but

only

recently

adapted for

automotive use.

Also

clouding

the picture is a

major

battle

-

of- the

-systems.

At

the moment,

the industry

is going

through a

set -to

reminiscent

of the

one between

RCA Victor

(with its 45s)

and

Columbia (with

its then -new LPs) over

a

decade ago.

Significantly

enough, no system
