ABSTRACT:
A recording/playback apparatus in which movable datum pins are held in a base casting. Upon insertion of a cartridge into a holding tray, within the apparatus, the pins are released to move into datum holes in the cartridge when the holes are positioned directly above the pins. The cartridge is then lowered onto the drive spindle and positioned on surfaces of the base casting. During the load cycle, the cartridge is allowed to move relative to the holding tray while continuing to be held in place relative to the base casting by the datum pins.
