Abstract
A mechanism for driving a tape recorder includes a selection lever supporting a pair of gears and selectively movable to bring the gears into mesh with gears on takeup and supply reels or out of mesh therewith under the control of a swing arm angularly movable in response to rotation of a cam plate having different cam faces for providing different modes of operation of the tape recorder. One of a pair of concentric integral gears is held at all times in mesh with one of the gears on the selection lever, and the other concentric gear is held in mesh with a gear on a joint arm, which can be brought into mesh with a motor gearing by a control arm only when the cam plate is held at rest.
