ABSTRACT:
A cartridge carrying/housing device is provided which is capable of reducing an access distance to a targeted position or an access time required to reach the targeted position. The cartridge carrying/housing device has a cell in which two or more slots each housing a magnetic tape cartridge are arranged in one specified direction and a picker to move according to control based on the number of driving pulses of a stepping motor and to count the number of driving pulses produced before a notch of a targeted slot is detected by a hand-pass sensor and is so configured that part of a cartridge being housed in the cell protrudes through a slot and that the notch is formed in a flat-plate shaped protrusion formed in the slot and, in a state where a cartridge has been housed, a cartridge and a portion including the flat-shaped protrusion are closely positioned or partially overlap each other so that the hand-pass sensor can detect only the notch.
