ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprises a rotary cylinder having a plurality of magnetic transducer heads on a cylindrical surface thereof and rotatable about an axis tilted to the vertical for producing obliquely scanned paths on a magnetic tape. A first tape loading mechanism includes a first post movable along a first guide groove extending from a first inital position in which it engages with a tape from a cassette to a first terminal position adjacent the rotary cylinder. A second tape loading mechnism includes a second post movable along a second guide groove extending from a second initial position in which it engages with the tape to a second terminal position adjacent the rotary cylinder. The first and second tape loading mechanisms are driven to that the first and second posts move from the initial positions to the terminal positions to cause the tape to be pulled out of the cassette and form an arc of a predetermined angle on the cylindrical wall of the rotary cylinder. A locking mechanism is provided for locking the first and second posts in the first and second terminal positions such that the axes of the first and second posts are parallel with the axis of rotaion of the rotary cylinder.
