Apparatus for controlling braking operation of a magnetic tape transport

摘要

An apparatus for controlling the transport of a magnetic tape in a tape recorder or like devices, arranged so that a braking force is applied only for a predetermined length of time to reel stands carrying tape reels either when the tape transport is to be stopped or when a speed of the tape transport is to be reduced to thereby mitigate the consumption of electric power required for the braking action, the apparatus also eliminates the provision of a special operation for stopping the transport of the magnetic tape which, otherwise, is required for switching from high-speed run to normal-speed run of the tape.
