A take-up reel assembly for use with a tape cartridge in a cartridge-based tape transport includes a take-up reel and a leader block. The take-up reel includes an annular hub and first and second tape guides having first and second generally flat guide surfaces, respectively. The hub has an axis of rotation, an annular hub surface extending between the guide surfaces, and a hub slot extending from the hub surface toward the axis of rotation. The leader block is adapted to be attached to a free end of a length of tape stored in the cartridge, and is further disposable in the hub slot. The leader block includes an arcuate end surface having first and second leader-block edges that extend between the guide surfaces when the leader block is disposed in the hub slot. At least a portion of each of the leader-block edges extends in a direction non-perpendicular to the guide surfaces when the leader block is disposed in the hub slot. |
