MAGNETIC TAPE APPARATUS

摘要

A magnetic-tape apparatus comprises a deck (1) carrying the cylindrical drum system (3), which is provided with at least one rotating magnetic head (7). A supporting member (31) mounted on the deck (1) for rectilinear movement towards and away from the drum system (3) and has at least two mutually spaced tape guides (73 to 76) fixed thereto. By a movement of the supporting member (31) towards the drum system (3) a length of magnetic tape (84) is led to the drum system and is wrapped around a part of the circumference of the drum system. There is provided at least one positioning element (77) which forms part of a non-rotating drum section (4) which positions the tape guides (73 to 76) relative to the drum system (3) in the end position of the supporting member (31) by cooperating with projecting portions (31d) thereof.
