Abstract
An improved tape cartridge with increased tape capacity comprises a cartidge housing including a base plate which has two portions. The two portions connect with each other to form at least one corner portion. At least one guide is located adjacent the one corner portion such that the tape web is held out of interference with the one corner portion. A driven roller is positioned such that a straight line drawn through the driven roller passes between axes of rotation of two tape packs mounted on the base plate and extends perpendicular with a straight line extending through the axes of rotation of the tape packs.
