ABSTRACT:
The loader for magnetic tape cartridges uses a receiver that holds a single magnetic tape cartridge or a companion cartridge magazine that holds a plurality of preloaded magnetic tape cartridges to individually access any one of the plurality of magnetic tape cartridges held by the magazine. The loader of the present invention is able to move a magnetic tape cartridge from the receiver or a magazine into the associate tape drive without the use of a friction feed drive. The loader contains only one motor for loading a magnetic tape cartridge from the magazine into the associated tape drive. The width of the loader is equal to or less than the width of the associated tape drive so that two loader-tape drive units can be mounted side by side.
