<p>A helical tape scanner (10) in which the stationary lower drum (16) includes a narrow upper ridge (18) which is offset from the axis of the rotatable upper drum (14) in a direction toward the end of scan. The video tape moves in a helical path from the stationary lower drum (16) over the offset upper ridge to the rotatable upper drum (16) which includes the video read/write heads (22) to transfer signals to and from the tape (12).</p> |
