摘要:
A reel-to-reel magnetic tape recorder includes a web regulator (16) between one reel and a transducer station. The web regulator ensures a relatively constant length of web between the transducer station and the one reel. The regulator includes a vacuum chamber (63) having a narrow web receiving opening (61) and a wider cavity (62) such that, as the web forms a bight in the chamber and overlaps the wider cavity, air flows past the web to regulate bight size in accordance with web tension tending to maintain a constant web length.
