Tape cartridge with tape tension differential attenuating tape guide arrangement

摘要

A tape cartridge is comprised of first and second hubs which are aligned in tandem in a cartridge inserting direction to a recording and regenerating apparatus. A magnetic tape wound around the first and second hubs is driven by a drive belt through tape guides to be pressingly in contact with a magnetic head. The tape guides are arranged so that tape tension characteristics under a forward condition of the tape cartridge become the generally same as those under a reverse condition.
