ABSTRACT:
A tape guide system for supporting magnetic tape about a rotary scan drum of a data transfer apparatus is disclosed. The tape guide system comprises a tape guide connected to an arm. The tape guide has a deployed position in which a supporting surface of the tape guide supports the magnetic tape and a non-deployed position in which the supporting surface is spaced from and non-aligned with a surface of the tape to be supported. The arm is arranged to be driven about an axis of rotation towards the deployed position. The axis of rotation of the arm is inclined such that, in the deployed position at least part of the supporting surface of the tape guide is substantially aligned with the surface of the tape to be supported. Other systems and methods are also provided.
