Abstract
A mechanism for providing actuating force on a switch responsive to changes in operation of a drive motor and the position of the head-mounting plate. An axially displaceable coupling wheel engages a guideway surface on the head-mounting plate, for movement axially between a position in which the coupling wheel engages an idler gear which is used to provide fast forward and fast reverse driving, and a position in which the coupling wheel is disengaged from the idler. The coupling wheel drives a servo wheel which is limited to one direction of rotation by a pawl, and is connected to a recording switch by an actuating link.
