hhbooker asked why Jim dropped a dime in the quarter slot? This was done as a protection procedure, it avoids a passerby causing a malfunction. The coin box would not open, perhaps even explode if Jim would not drop a dime in the quarter slot before hand. He rec'd the proper technique on how to get to the recorder along with its location when receiving his orders and the key
The question should be how does Jim get instructions on obtaining each mission's information?, where is the recorder?, how does he get the key for wherever the recording device and accompanying portfolio is.
By the way, many sources cite the use of a car 8-track player giving instructions when in reality they never used an 8-track player, the many opening sequences with instructions on a car tape player always used a 4-track player or cart machine, the short lived predecessor to the 8-track
