ABSTRACT:
The invention is a tape cartridge including a single tape reel around which a length of magnetic tape is wound and which is turnably held within a housing. The beginning of the tape is fixed to a leader so that it can be drawn out through an opening formed in the housing by a tape drawing-out member of a recorder which has an end capable of engaging the tape end. The leader includes a metallic center pin member on which the beginning of the tape is wound and a pair of engaging members of synthetic resin joined to upper and lower ends of said pin member so as to engage the tape drawing-out member of the recorder. The engaging members are molded together integrally with the upper and lower ends of the pin member.
