ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for recording and/or reproducing signals relative to magnetic tapes provided in magazines of different configurations. Retaining means are provided for retaining and holding magazines of two different sizes and configurations, with respect to a common magnetic transducer for recording on and/or reproducing from the tapes of both magazines, depending upon which magazine is prepositioned on a support for the transducer. A common drive means may be provided for the tape of either magazine, thereby substantially simplifying the apparatus. In another form, auxiliary drive means is provided for the tape of one magazine, which auxiliary drive operates either separately from the drive for the tape of a magazine of a different shape or cooperates therewith. A removable or retractable retaining means for one of the magazines is provided, to permit the other magazine to be held in place without intervention thereby.
