Abstract
To load a record into the player, a caddy is inserted into the player and then withdrawn, thereby leaving the enclosed record inside the player resting on a pair of front and back receiver pads. As the pickup carriage moves toward the turntable for playback, the record is lowered to the turntable for rotation therewith without hindrance from the receiver pads. As the carriage is driven back to a standby position after playback, the record is transferred back to the receiver pads for retrieval.
