MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS

摘要

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a drive mechanism for running an endless magnetic tape of less than 300 m at a higher speed than 5 meters per second; a restricting member interlocking with the roll of said rapidly moving endless magnetic tape wound on a reel to apply a force against a centrifugal force generated on the tape roll so as to prevent it from being shaken unnecessarily; and a stationary magnetic head so arranged that the head is stational in a tape running direction and intermittently movable is a tape width direction to record frequency-modulated video signals in, and reproducing said signals from, the magnetic tape.
