Abstract
As a caddy is inserted into the player to load a record therein, it displaces the carriage locking lever to its retracted position to release the carriage. The record retaining spine of the caddy holds the carriage locking lever at the retracted position thereof as long as the record/spine assembly is inside the player. Upon removal of the record/spine assembly from the player, the carriage locking lever moves to its advanced position to arrest the carriage.
