Abstract
A tape transport control system suitable for use in tape recording apparatus which utilizes supply and take-up reels onto which the tape is wound. The control system is coupled to both the supply and take-up reels so as to generate detection signals which represents the rotation of the reels. The circuitry utilizes the detection signals to determine the point at which each of the reels in nearing its end, and sends a control signal to the tape transport circuitry to stop the rotation of the reels.
