ABSTRACT:
A vending system includes a central station at which various information stored on master recordings can be selectively accessed by purchasers from any of multiple remote vending machines, the accessed information being reproduced on cartridge-type storage media at that vending machine. The cartridge, upon receiving all of the selected information, is ejected from the vending machine for the permanent use of the purchaser. In a preferred embodiment the master recording medium comprises a plurality of rack-mounted endless master tapes continuously driven by a common capstan. The endless tapes are contained in a cartridge which includes a tape transport and playback head and is readily removable from the rack. The vending machine includes a storage magazine in which blank tapes receive recorded information and are then automatically ejected.
