Ferris wheel magnetic tape cassette storage and handling apparatus

摘要

Disclosed is a magnetic tape cassette storage and handling apparatus which is compact, reliable and uncomplex. The apparatus includes a ferris wheel structure having a plurality of circumferentially spaced compartments for storing individual magnetic tape cassettes. A cassette handling device is located in a central opening of the ferris wheel structure. The apparatus is preferably mounted adjacent to a magnetic tape recorder/player, so that the cassette handling device loads and unloads a cassette from a compartment of the ferris wheel structure into and out of the magnetic tape recorder/player.
