ABSTRACT:
A data transfer apparatus has a casing with an entrance slot in which a magnetic tape cassette is to be inserted. Upon full insertion of the cassette to a preassigned standby position, a cassette shift mechanism is activated to transport the cassette from the standby position to a data transfer position opposite a substantially fixed magnetic head. A load/eject lever on the front panel of the casing is to be manually turned following the shifting of the cassette to the data transfer position, in order to cause a pair of drive spindles to move into driving engagement with the hubs of the cassette. Since the drive spindles remain retracted, instead of being automatically sprung into driving engagement with the cassette hubs, unless the load/eject lever is manipulated following the shifting of the cassette to the data transfer position, a cleaning cassette can be used with the apparatus for cleaning the magnetic head without the danger of ruining the drive spindles as a result of forced contact with the cleaning cassette.
