ABSTRACT:
A guidance system for tape in a tape cartridge includes two corner guides and an optional third guide. The two corner guides may be angled to produce a bow in the tape. If provided, the third guide is readily adjustable during manufacture to an exact predetermined distance from the two corner guides, thereby avoiding problems due to build-up of manufacturing tolerances. A method of constructing such a system provides an interference fit ferrule on a pin as the third guide, such that the position of the ferrule can be adjust to the exact position desired during manufacture.
