ABSTRACT:
A tape transport apparatus comprising a central drive capstan and take-up and supply reels which are rotatably mounted on supports that ae movable relative to said capstan and can be urged by biasing means toward the capstan to maintain the surface engagement between the periphery of the capstan and the peripheries of the reels. To compensate for the mass moment of inertia of the movable supports and the tape reels mounted thereon, one or more counterweighting means are provided which are movably connected to the supports in such a way that the mass inertias cancel each other out.
