I read about this on another forum (http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=5154) and never realised that cassette tape came in lengths longer than 120 minutes. The mechanism is quite similar to that of a DAT tape, with guides to ensure that the tape feeds neatly onto the reels.
An interesting bit of tape-history :)
