ABSTRACT:
A tape cartridge for one-half inch magnetic tape having a cartridge configuration which is mechanically interchangeable with an ANSI one-quarter inch cartridge. The newly provided cartridge preserves head placement, access door, end and beginning of tape sensing, tape direction, and an outwardly facing drive pulley, all associated with ANSI one-quarter inch cartridges. The present tape cartridge provides turn idlers in the corners of the cartridge so that a tape path can be established following the inner peripheral walls and regions of the cartridge, but avoiding passing in front of or underneath the drive pulley where interference would occur.
