ABSTRACT:
In the tape drive which uses a tape cartridge, the cartridge housing [34] is vertically referenced with respect to a positioning pin [30] in the operative position of the cartridge, and a spring-loaded tape guide [28] which is slidable on the positioning pin [30] is vertically referenced with respect to the cartridge housing [34] to ensure proper vertical alignment of the tape guide [28] with the cartridge housing [34] and reduce wear on the edge of the tape [25].
