ABSTRACT:
A one inch high tape drive which can play a tape that is 0.315 inches (8 millimeters) wide. The tape drive includes a head that is defined by a first edge, a second edge and a centerline that is equal distance from each edge. The head is typically 0.64 inches high and includes a transducer which has a centerline that is offset from the centerline of the head by approximately 0.010 inches. The head is coupled to a stepper motor assembly which can move the head from the first edge of the tape to a location 0.010 inches from the second edge of the tape. The 0.010 offset allows a 0.315 inch (8 mm) wide tape to be played in a 1 inch high tape drive that has total tolerances of .+-.0.050 inches.
