The loading device includes a pair of base plates each having loading poles, and the loading device driving mechanism includes a pair of parallel threaded shafts with the head drum interposed therebetween. A pair of nut members are respectively engaged with the threaded shafts. The threaded shafts are arranged to be concurrently rotated by a reversible motor so that the pair of nut members are respectively moved along the axes of the threaded shafts. Each of the nut members is elastically coupled, through a connecting mechanism including a coil spring, to the base plates so that the base plates are respectively movable in association with the movement of the nut members to thereby cause it to load the tape.
