Abstract
The supply and take up reels for reel-to-reel operations are mounted on a base plate, one higher than the other, the base surface having a step. The equipment accepts the loading in of a cassette having its spools located one above the other in an axial direction, which is equipped with a front cover that opens out readily when the cassette is inserted and allows the tape to go into engagement with the transport mechanism. The insertion of a cassette operates a switch that disables the portion of the mechanism not used in operating with a cassette. A drive for at least one spool of the cassette is preferably provided.
