ABSTRACT:
A tape cartridge has a roller driven continuous resilient belt which supports a wide thin tape when transported in the vincinity of video recording machine heads. The belt turns a tape take-up reel at a peripheral speed greater than the belt turns a tape supply reel thereby applying tension to the tape as it is transported past the heads. Since the belt both supports and supplies tension to the tape, tape bounce is minimized in the vicinity of the machine heads. Separate idlers guide the belt and tape from the supply reel to the machine heads, and separate idlers guide the belt and the tape from the heads to the take-up reel allowing a smooth take-up reel to be built as the tape is transported.
