ABSTRACT:
A tape transport mechanism for dual capstan type tape recorders, which is designed so that a drive motor can be located at any desired position and rotational irregularities such as wow can most effectively be prevented. This mechanism includes a first flywheel provided with a first capstan for transporting a magnetic tape, and a second flywheel provided with a second capstan for imparting a back tension to the magnetic tape being transported. The first flywheel comprises a smaller-diameter portion on which said first capstan is provided, and a larger-diameter portion which is integrally provided on the bottom of the smaller-diameter portion. The larger-diameter portion of the first flywheel is coupled to the drive motor through a first belt, and the smaller-diameter portion thereof is connected to the second flywheel through a second belt.
