ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape cassette apparatus of the type requiring no movement of a transducer for the establishment of data transfer contact with the tape cassette. Inserted lengthwise in the apparatus, the tape cassette has its apertured front side oriented toward the fixed transducer. A cassette shift mechanism subsequently transports the tape cassette in its own plane into data transfer contact with the transducer. Then the pair of drive spindles of a tape transport are moved axially into driving engagement with the tape cassette by a tape transport shift mechanism. For simplifying the construction of this tape transport shift mechanism, an electric drive motor is provided. The controlled rotation of the drive motor is translated into the linear movement of the drive spindles into or out of driving engagement with the tape cassette. Preferably, the drive spindles may be sprung into driving engagement with the tape cassette in order to preclude the danger of overloading the drive motor when a tape cassette of wrong size or type is inserted in the apparatus.
