ABSTRACT:
A tape loading arrangement includes supply and take-up reel tables, a rotating magnetic head drum, a capstan motor, sliders including tape guides and a pendulum gear for engaging limiter gears associated with each of the reel tables. Magnetic torque limiters are provided at each of the reel tables and the torque ranges of each of the reel tables are set individually, the supply reel having a wider torque range than the take-up reel. According to this construction, the capstan motor generally controls the pendulum gear to engage the supply reel during a tape loading operation, wherein tape to be wound around the head drum is extracted from the take-up reel of the tape cassette. However, if the tape cassette is in a fully rewound state at which there is no tape available on the take-up reel, the capstan motor urges the pendulum gear to engage the limiter gear of the take-up reel table such that the tape may be extracted from the supply reel side and loading may be accomplished without delay no matter what the state of winding of the tape within the tape cassette.
