ABSTRACT:
Telephone answering apparatus is provided which is simple in its construction as compared with the usual prior art apparatus, but which is capable of performing all of the operations performed by the more complex prior art apparatus, and also of performing operations beyond the capabilities of the usual prior art apparatus. The apparatus of the invention utilizes a cassette-type tape unit on which announcement messages may be recorded, for transmission to a calling party during an initial time interval (T.sub.1). The apparatus also includes a cassette-type tape unit to record the messages from the calling party during a subsequent message recording interval (T.sub.2). In the apparatus, a single irreversible drive motor is used for both the announcement and message tape units, and a simple mechanical drive is provided for the message tape unit for driving the message tape unit in one direction during a fast forward operation, and for driving the message tape unit in the opposite direction during a rewind operation, without the need for reversing the direction of rotation of the drive motor.
