<p>The present invention provides a magnetic tape recorder for recording randomly occurring signals and includes tape supply and takeup reels with associated reel drives and a loop support device to support a loop of magnetic tape extending between the reels. The loop support device is adapted to selectively vary the length of the loop between a maximum and a minimum length. A tape drive capstan and magnetic head are provided between the supply reel and the loop support device to, respectively, transport the magnetic tape from the supply reel to the loop support device and to record data on the tape. Another tape drive capstan and magnetic head are provided between the takeup reel and the loop support device to, respectively, transport the magnetic tape from the loop support device to the takeup reel and to record data on the magnetic tape. An auxiliary capstan is provided to selectively transport the magnetic tape from the takeup reel to the loop support device.</p> |
