For the purpose of fixing a capstan fashioned in light weight structure as a hollow cylinder having a perforated generated surface on the shaft stub of a drive motor for a magnetic tape recorder means, the shaft stub being composed of a ceramic material, the capstan has a bearing sleeve. At its end at the motor side, this bearing sleeve forms a guide ring which is narrowly toleranced with respect to the outside diameter of the shaft stub; at its opposite, outer end, it includes a threaded bore for the acceptance of a tensioning nut having an outside thread; and, in the transition region from the guide ring to the threaded bore, it has a tensing or clamping lip which wedges against the shaft stub in rotational-symmetrical fashion when the capstan is mounted on the shaft stub, deforming under the pressure of the tensioning nut.

Arrangement for fixing the capstan of a magnetic tape recorder means

A system for monitoring the paper feed in printing mechanisms and the like, in which reference signals are derived in response to actuation of the feeding means for the paper web and in synchronism with the feed movement thereof, which signals may be compared with supervisory signals generated in response to advancing movement of the paper web, whereby predetermined abnormal relation between the reference and supervisory signals forms a criterion of improper paper advance conditions.
