DUPLICATING APPARATUS FOR CASSETTES

摘要

Apparatus for fast, high quality duplication for magnetic tape in cassettes, having mounts for the cassettes with openings for a loop of tape to extend out from each cassette and to be positively driven. The loop is positioned around a short idler and the idler is then biased against a drive mandrel common to all stations in the apparatus. At each station a transducer is located past the drive mandrel shortly ahead of the location at which the looped tape re-enters the opening of the mount.
