Abstract
A continuous loop cassette changer apparatus for a dictation/transcription system transfers tape cassettes from a first storage location to a dictation record/listen station, to a second storage location, to a transcription listen station, and then back to the first storage location for eventual re-recording all without manual handling cassettes. The cassettes are transferred in an upright position. Dictation on a sequence of cassettes can proceed independently of simultaneous transcription of another sequence of cassettes. A priority eject mechanism is provided to remove cassettes containing priority dictation from the continuous loop.
