ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape cartridge in which, to provide a connection between a magnetic tape and a leader tape, any additional steps which lower the productivity, such as the step of using an adhesive, are avoided, the manufacturing process is almost the same as a conventional process, and a positive connection between the leader tape and the magnetic tape is ensured. A single reel having a magnetic tape wound thereon is housed in the cartridge, and a leader tape is connected to an end of the magnetic tape, wherein the leader tape can be drawn out from an opening of the cartridge by a tape-drawing device of a recording/reproducing unit to enable tape travel. The magnetic tape and the leader tape are connected together through a splicing tape, and the length of that portion of the splicing tape bonded to the leader tape is longer than the length of winding of the tape around a guide roller provided in the tape travel path in the recording/reproducing device which changes a direction of said tape travel path at a sharpest angle along said tape travel path.
