CID, Video Tape Counter
I was contracted through my electrical engineering com-padre to develop a method to tell if a VCR tape was viewed to the end. It seems that a college professor friend of his assigned his student to view the tape. He need a method by which to tell if they watched it in it's entirety. This is the results of that exercise.
