Abstract
A one piece extrusion provides the base for a simple and effective vacuum tank for magnetic tape handlers. The extrusion carries longitudinal slots which accept stamped metal nuts. These nuts are readily positioned by sliding them along the slots. Slots along the edges of the extrusion are used to carry nuts holding hinges for a plastic cover over the tank front. Slots along the back and near the edges of the extrusion carry nuts for mounting the tank on the tape handler main frame. A longitudinal slot along the back of the extrusion and spaced in from one edge carries spring-loaded tubular inserts for attachment to the vacuum sensing tubes. Communication with the vacuum chamber is implemented by means of holes at appropriate places along the body of the extrusion.
