ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape cassette having two tape winding reels with associated brake levers pivotable between a disengaged position and a braking position for rotating the reels slightly and tensioning the tape when the cassette is not on a tape apparatus. To obtain a maximum rotation of the winding reels within the available cassette space, the levers are each journalled on a lever mount which can be actuated from outside the cassette to move from a rest position to an operating position in which the brake levers are disengaged, in the rest position the levers engaging at least one control surface in the cassette.
