ABSTRACT:
A tape cassette recording and reproducing apparatus is provided with a mechanism that automatically reverses the tape drive direction at the end of the tape when the apparatus is in the playback mode, yet automatically stops the tape drive when the apparatus is in the record mode. A further mechanism permits the reversing of the tape drive direction while in the playback mode and the stopping of the tape drive while in the record mode at any time prior to reaching the end of the tape, upon actuating the appropriate control. By utilizing only two mutually slidable elements, one of which is also able to be rotated through a short arc, and a locking element which cooperates with the slidable elements to control the tape drive mechanism and also controls the mode-selecting slide levers of the typical tape recorder, a compact control mechanism is provided that is suitable for use in a portable cassette tape recorder.
