Abstract
A magnetic-tape-cassette apparatus comprises a servo rod axially movable in opposite directions which is driven by a motor. The servo rod controls functional elements of the apparatus, such as a head-mounting plate and a loading mechanism. The motor is also used for driving the turntables. The apparatus further comprises a control member whose position is defined by the servo rod and the head-mounting plate. The position of the control member determines the position of a rotatable switching member, which actuates switching means for a logic circuit for the motor. The switching means provides the force-sustained coupling between the motor and the servo rod, and disengages the turntables from the motor during the change-over of apparatus functions.
