ABSTRACT:
A tape transport of the type with a resilient capstan abutting the tape packs on the supply and takeup reels includes a bias unit coupled between the supply reel support and takeup reel support to urge both reels against the capstan with the same force. A drag torque is applied to the supply reel during operation to maintain the appropriate tape tensions in the system.
