Abstract
A tape recorder having a tape guide member with a guide edge against which the tape is loaded or biased by pressure members. To press the tape against the supporting edge with a transverse force approximately constant per unit of length, pressure members are arranged beyond the ends of the tape-supporting edge, and the tape supporting edge has a curvature convex toward the tape, with a peak substantially midway between tape-support entry and exit points having a smaller radius of curvature than that of the remainder of the tape-supporting edge.
