ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for loading and unloading the leader block of an IBM 3480 tape cartridge uses a loading/unloading mechanism which is directly associated with the take-up reel of the apparatus rather than separate mechanism. The take-up reel of the apparatus is provided with a linkage which extends from the periphery of the take-up reel, and which has a pin for engaging the leader block of the tape cartridge. The pin of the linkage is caused to proceed along a specified path, following a camming surface under the influence of an over-center spring, to transfer the leader block from the tape cartridge, through its specified tape path, to the take-up reel, and vice versa.
