ABSTRACT:
A tape transport capable of receiving cassettes of varying sizes, one at the time for play, includes a cassette indexing mechanism capable of selectively positioning the spindles which engage the reels of an associated cassette at a selected distance corresponding to the reel-center-to-reel-center distance of the cassette. Mis-insertion apparatus associated with the transport provides that any cassette smaller than the cassette receiving opening in the transport will be protected against being improperly inserted into the transport.
