Carol: I had a set of audio cassette demo tapes from Lincoln Labs (at MIT) way back when before I retired that contained such a phenomenon. I learned recently that the whole box of cassettes was tossed about a year ago. There was a tape I had of the old Vokey & Read material on so-called backmasking in there, too. Anyway, maybe someone at MIT could do some digging and find some things on what you're describing. Good luck. David
