Some carts where stereo, some radio stations played carts iso records, they recorded the music that must be played in a certain program on carts and the DJ received only the carts that has to be played in that program, also the records could not be damaged due maltreatment. Also a cart machine was able to start an other cart machine, some radio stations had sometimes 5 or more cart machines and the DJ loaded those cart machines with music and jingles and the only thing he has to do is the voice over and re-loading the cart machines with new carts.
It's like a fast forward for the cart. Let's it re-cue quicker. It can be manually pressed or in this case a cue tone was recorded onto the cart at the end of the jingle sequence to get it to re-cue quickly. Nothing worse than carts that haven't been re-cued!!
used to get sunshine 101.5fm here in Manchester and nova 738am.
Cool!
Were carts stereo? I only remember the FM days of Nova and Sunshine.
Yes, although the Sunshine jingles are mono.
