Tête-bêche ( German  'head at foot' in the sense of 'opposite', 'antiparallel') is the international name used in philately for the German term Kehrdruck . It comes from the French language. The term is also used in other areas.

Stamp customer

Individual counters do not always have to be separated by empty fields. If no sheet margin was provided, for example with sheets from which pages for stamp booklets were made, these empty fields were left out. In order to better distinguish the individual sheets or booklet pages from each other, the stamps were printed rotated by 180 ° to each other on the dividing line. The philatelist refers to the two connected, inverted postage stamps as reverse prints. In some editions there are also sweeping prints with dividers. Sweeping prints as well as stamps with attached dividers are of interest to specialized collectors. Occasionally they are also caused by clichés mistakenly used upside down.

Print media

Combined print media (e.g. magazines ), which are brought together in the form of a turning newspaper (also known as a combination magazine ), are also referred to as tête-bêche publications. Both newspapers are connected with a staple and each newspaper can be read from the outside in.

Such editions are also known as dos-à-dos 'back to back' , bound. A well-known example of dos-à-dos bound paperbacks are the Ace Doubles published by the American publisher Ace Books between 1952 and 1973 , in which two novels by different authors - usually a well-known one together with a less well-known author - were bound together dos-à-dos . This type of binding was not used exclusively, but predominantly in American science fiction series. In addition to the Ace Doubles , the Tor Doubles published by Tor Books should be mentioned.

Electronic components

If electronic components are arranged tête-bêche , this means an anti-parallel (opposing) arrangement of components (e.g. diodes , transistors, etc.).

vegetables

If vegetables are offered in more than one layer, the products may be placed heart against stem ( tête-bêche ), provided the layers or heads are protected or separated by suitable material.
