ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for eliminating the effect of unevenly wound magnetic tape media on the guidance of the media relative to a tape transport read/write head. A first guide is used to axially twist the tape or other media 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the media being unwound from a tape spool. Another guide is then used to twist the media into to an alignment which is co-planar with a surface of the tape transport read/write head. This procedure eliminates the effect of staggerwrap from the tape spool and allows the spooled media to be more precisely aligned with respect to a desired media path of travel.
