Abstract
A tape transport mechanism for tensioning a magnetic tape unwound from a first reel past one or more magnetic heads and wound onto a second reel. The tape transport has a rotatable capstan upstream from the magnetic heads and a capstan pressure roller which cooperates with the capstan, and a transport spindle downstream from the magnetic heads with an associated transport spindle pressure roller. The transport spindle is driven by a constant torque drive to stretch the tape between the capstan and the transport spindle over the magnetic heads.
