Abstract
A tape speed control system for a magnetic tape recorder allows a magnetic tape to be fed at any desired speed in a fast feed mode operation. In a fast feed mode operation, rotation periods of take-up and supply reels are detected and one of them is weighted relative to the other. The sum of the weighted and non-weighted periods is compared with a predetermined reference period and the resulting difference signal is used to control drive motors associated with the respective reels, thereby causing the tape to run at a desired speed regardless of the roll radius thereof built up on the take-up reel.
