<p>A capstanless helical scan recording system includes a supply reel shaft (54); a take-up reel shaft (56); and a media transport path extending from a supply reel to a take-up reel. The take-up reel comprises a rotor assembly (60), a rotating hub assembly (70), and a gearing system. The rotor assembly includes a sun gear (80) which rotates at a first rotational speed. The rotating hub assembly carries three planetary gears (160) and imparts a velocity to media transported in the media transport path. The gearing system meshes with the rotor assembly and with the hub assembly for causing the hub assembly to have a greater rotational speed than the rotor assembly.</p> |
