ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for threading cartridge magnetic tape over a predetermined data processing path to a takeup reel. A cam track is provided in a cover over the path. The track has a beginning point for positioning a longitudinal cam member into engagement with a leader block exposed through an opening in the cartridge. The track terminates over the takeup reel rotational axis. A bifurcated linkage member is connected at one end to said longitudinal cam member, and to a drive motor. Rotation of the linkage member positions the longitudinal cam member between ends of the track engaging the leader block and threading it through the path and into a slot on the takeup reel.
