ABSTRACT:
A tape cartridge for housing magnetic tape includes first and second tape guide portions including upper and lower flanges provided thereon for guiding tape along a predetermined tape path according to rotation of supply and take-up reels of the tape cartridge. The tape is disposed such that an upper edge thereof contacts an inner side of an upper flange of the first tape guide and an inner side of the lower flange of the second tape guide. A width dimension between these two inner sides of the flanges being substantially equal to the width of the tape. This may be effected by mounting the first and second tape guide portions at different heights on a base plate of the cartridge. According to this, it is possible to substantially reduce `offtracking` of tape running in said cartridge.
