An automated cassette loader system includes a front loading tape drive mounted in a standard height enclosure with a removable magazine including cassettes stored in front to rear alignment in two levels. The cassettes are pushed between entry and exit positions by pushing one cassette out of a push position in one level and then pushing a cassette from a push position in the other level. The cassette pushed out of the magazine is transported to the front loading tape drive and, when removed therefrom, transported to the intake of the other level of the magazine.

Automated cassette loader

An improved actuator switch for transmitting a function to a PC board that is not directly attached to the actuator switch. The actuator switch provides a large amount of alignment tolerance without loss of function. Further, the actuator switch is easy to assemble, requiring no assembly tools because the entire mechanism snaps together.
