ABSTRACT:
A capstan shaft is disposed in the center, and 4-track 2-channel heads are arranged on a single rotatable head-supporting board in positions at equal distances from the rotation center of the head-supporting board. At time of tape end detection or programming (manual reverse), the head-supporting board is rotated to extrude and retract the heads on the upper- and lower-course sides of the center capstan, respectively, so that only the upper-course-side head may be brought into contact with a tape face. Naturally, in such construction, there is no need of 4-channel heads, and steady tape run can be obtained because the upper-course-side head is always in contact with the tape face in both forward and reverse operations.
