Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a record carrier in the form of a tape which is accommodated in a cassette and which can be wound onto two reel hubs. The apparatus comprises two winding mandrils for driving the reel hubs and two winding mandril wheels which are coaxial with the winding mandrils and which are rotationally interlocked with the mandrils. A drive arrangement for driving the winding mandril wheels comprises a drive shaft, which is rotatably journalled on a bearing support which is movable transversely of the axes of the winding mandrils, and a drive wheel which is mounted on the drive shaft and which can be driven by a motor. The drive shaft comprises a first shaft section for driving one of the two winding mandril wheels, which shaft section is disposed at the same level as the winding mandril wheels and a second shaft section for driving the other one of the winding mandril wheels, which second shaft section is disposed at a level between the level of the winding mandril wheels and the level of the cassette main-side which is remote from the winding mandril wheels. The drive wheel is arranged adjacent the cassette, between the level of the winding mandril wheels and the level of the cassette main-side which is remote from the winding mandril wheels.
