ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and reproduction apparatus is provided wherein the recording medium is a magnetic tape supported within a cartridge or magazine which is removably attachable to the apparatus. Transducing with respect to the tape of the cartridge is effected by a mechanism which automatically removes a portion of the tape from the cartridge and causes the tape to conform to a portion of the cylindrical surface of a drum containing magnetic transducers. As the drum rotates, the transducers scan transverse tracks of the tape in performing either a recording operation or reproduction operation. At the end of a transducing operation, components of the mechanism retract out of the way of the tape and the tape is driven back into the magazine or cartridge by automatically operating drive means for a reel onto which the tape is wound.
