  "description": "Mechanical tape transport of a basic VHS VCR at real published geometry: 62.00 mm head drum tilted 5.9354° (JVC-standard video track angle), 188×104×25 mm cassette loaded with 89 mm reels on 26 mm T-120 hubs, 12.65 mm-wide tape packs, M-load threading with two slant-post boats laid out for a 186° wrap, 4.76 mm capstan with pinch roller on its arm, tension arm and band, full-erase and audio/control head blocks, reel tables, idler and loading-worm placeholders — 59 individually modeled parts in one cohesive graphite-and-silver scheme. True-spec dims (JVC VHS standard): drum Ø62, cassette 188×104×25, tape 12.65, reel Ø89/hub Ø26, tilt 5°56′7.4″. ESTIMATED (no published value): 186° wrap, 92 mm reel spacing, 360×280 chassis, compressed tape-path station spacing. Mechanical only — no electronics. Designed and built end-to-end by an AI agent through Orchard’s agent tool surface.",
