ABSTRACT:
A slack tape loader for a tape transport apparatus has a signal generator selectively energized by a tape loading control switch to produce an enabling signal for a reel motor control servo circuit. The enabling signal has a duration which will energize the reel motor control servo for a short period of time to load the slack tape on tape storage reels. Concurrently, the tape transport is operative to detect a tensioned state of the tape. The enabling signal is recurrently produced by the signal generator in response to the tape loading control switch until the desired tape tension is detected by a tape tension sensing means to produce an output signal for disabling the signal generator.
