Abstract
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, in which a magnetic tape is automatically mounted on a tape guiding drum containing rotary magnetic heads for the recording and reproduction of signals on and from the tape, is provided with a pair of tape drawing and mounting members which are engageable with a tape in a cassette mounted on the apparatus and movable along guide slots in guide board to draw the tape out of the cassette to a position in which the tape is mounted on and extends around the tape guiding drum. The tape drawing and mounting members are operatively connected to chains. Drive mechanism is provided to wind and unwind the chains so that the chains are moved along guide members to thereby move the tape drawing and mounting members, respectively, away from the cassette for the required tape drawing and mounting operation.
