| LFL No.45 |
After the wheel, came the cassette, a smaller 3 inch assembly of two glass discs, each with slightly varying shapes and
opposing colours, one remained static, whilst the other rotated, dots and stripes converged and diverged to create colour
changing moire patterns. One of these effects can be seen in the navigation bar strip, on the left.
The liquid idea was also used in the cassette, sometimes alongside patterns, or sometimes with logos.
Shown below, is the logo cassette, from the top of the page, in disassembled form. The outer, moving case can be seen,
separately from the inner, static assembly with the ball-race that facilitates smooth rotation.
A Pluto wireless connection cassette rotator. Cassettes usually rotate faster than wheels, at around 5 rpm.

| Another LFL Cassette. |
So, a website about kinetic effects, Kinetic means moving doesn't it?
L.F.L. (Light Fantastic Ltd.) produced some amazingly bright cassette effects. Above, shown moving, the
first is No. 45, the lower one is number 57.
In the static picture below, number 38, which can be seen in moving form, repeated down the page from
the navigation bar.
| This one could be either Opti or L.F.L. |
|
| It's L.F.L. but they both made this design. |
|
| An Opti mono colour cassette |
|
| L.F.L. again, those colours tell the tale. |
|
| Another LFL, colours are subdued to reduce file size. |
