摘要

A magnetic tape cassette (200) is loaded end on through a front opening into a housing (48) that can tilt through an angle to allow a locator (47) to engage with one of the spools. In the loading position the cassette is raised and the locator is in position. As the cassette is moved into the housing the frame tilts to lower the cassette into the operating position. At the same time a cassette ejector lever (47) is loaded against a spring. When the ejector is operated the cassette is raised and released. ADVANTAGE - Insertion and ejection movements carried out without auxiliary cassette follower representing a special part.
