摘要： In a tape transport of the type where tape traveling between a pair of tape reels is selectively moved past a recording/readout station by externally controlled capstan means, a novel, semiautomatic system is provided for loading the tape into the transport. In accordance with the present invention, this is accomplished by manual insertion of the tape into a first tape path and by subsequent, stepwise automatic loading into a second tape path when predetermined operating conditions in the transport are present. Transport disabling means, normally operative in the absence of the aforesaid operating conditions, are inhibited during the tape loading operation, becoming operative again when the transport is fully loaded and ready for normal operation. Apparatus for loading tape in this manner avoids the time delays and reliability problems of fully manual loading systems, as well as the high cost and lack of reliability in certain critical areas of fully automatic tape loading equipment.
