ABSTRACT:
A tape transport mechanism has a device for reversing the direction of tape transport, which pivots the head mounting plate so that either one of two pressure rollers pinches the tape against a respective capstan. The head mounting plate is guided by systems of guide pins engaging guide slots, each of the systems having at least one corresponding pin and slot to each side of a magnetic head, in the direction of a line between the two capstans. At least one guide slot to each side of the head has two legs or branches, one of which is shorter than the other. A control device causes a guide pin to one side of the head to be in the short leg or branch, while the guide pin to the other side of the head is in the long leg or branch, the head plate then pivoting about the guide pin which is in and abuts the end of the short leg or branch.
