ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a device which comprises a device for displacing to transversely position a multitrack tape in front of a reading and/or writing head. The magnetic tape carries a plurality of elementary tracks which are grouped in several bundles. These bundles are selectively accessed using the device for displacing. The writing and/or reading head can write and/or read information from elementary tracks contained in one bundle at a time. The device for displacing comprise a tape guide acting on longitudinal edges of the tape and transversely translating the tape. Furthermore they comprise either a movable tape reels platform or movable pins to accommodate for the transverse tape displacement.
