Recorder operation at low speed is accomplisehed by a tape drive system having a balanced flywheel (51) and pulley drive reel (52) integrally coupled to the motor output shaft (31). A drive pulley (33) is coupled to the capstan drive wheel (34) and cassette reel drive wheel (38) to provide the desired slow speed tape movement useful for speech reproduction. </p> |
