Department of Phonetics, University College London An earlier equipment note (Huggins, 1967) described a modification for a tape- recorder that made it possible to produce accurate delays for auditory feedback experiments. Further modifications have resulted in a device that can solve several of the equipment problems that are encountered in studies of speech, and of selective attention. Two important applications have emerged in addition to the production of accurate delays. (I) The device can be used to electronically “cut and splice” magnetic recording tape, without physically damaging the tape. The “splices” so made can be placed very much more accurately than conventional cuts and splices. A typical error of placement for an electronic splice is of the order of *I msec. or less than one-hundredth of an inch of a tape recorded at 74 in./sec. Furthermore, repeated splices can be made from the same segments of tape. (2) The device can be used to adjust accurately the relative timing of two auditory stimuli, for example, their onset times. Here again ae error in the timing can be as small as a millisecond, for stimuli whose temporal properties are
