ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape drive has support arms positioned in the isolation pocket. The arms taper toward the bottom wall of the pocket to provide a mechanical servo action which keeps the tape in the pocket near the steady-state running position. Beaded tape covers the support arms to enhance movement of the tape over the support arms. Low friction bearings at the corner of the opening of the pocket include a barrel roller mounted on roller bearings at the top corner of the opening and a stationary polished barrel at the bottom corner. Alternatively, air bearings are provided.
