Abstract
Magnetic tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a device for providing a predetermined increase in the length of a loop of tape which extends between the point of contact between a capstan and a pinch roller and the opposite side of the pinch roller. The tape amount increasing device broadly comprises a linkage having first and second positions and to which first and second rollers are mounted at opposite ends thereof. The linkage is further pivoted at one end whereby a loop of tape passes around the first roller mounted at the pivoted end of the linkage in the first position of the linkage, and around the second roller when the linkage is in its second position.
