Ah! John -- there is a tape cassette on the operating table with a "hernia" where the tape has come out of the cassette. When that happened we used to use a pencil, eraser end in perhaps best to rewind the cassette so retrieving the tape so it could still be played.

The same technology in general could also be used to rewind VHS or Beta tapes.
