Actually, it means millisiemens. Seconds isn't a proper name, and is
abbreviated as a lower-case letter: ms.
Sorry, William, but you've got things confused here. In this present context, it
really is microseconds (µs).
The named unit "Siemens" does admittedly take the abbreviation "s", but that
pertains to measurement of electrical conductance. Scott was referring to the
IEC standardized Time Constants to define the (high frequency side) of the
record/playback equalization curve for cassette formulations, viz. 120µs (not
100µs) for Type I and 70µs for Type II.
