ABSTRACT:
A load/eject system for a magnetic tape recorder receiving a magnetic tape cartridge. The system provides a motor/worm gear/pinion and rack transport mechanism which drives a chassis having grippers and lifters engaged in cammed slots for gripping and lifting a cartridge partially inserted into the recorder and transporting the cartridge to an operating position. The system locks the cartridge in proper longitudinal and vertical position for operating. At that operating position, a lost motion spring arrangement imparts a resilient holding force of the cartridge in a longitudinal direction, and deflectable fingers resiliently clamp the cartridge in a select vertical position.
