Abstract
A magnetic tape cassette apparatus having a control device for controlling drive mechanism functions including the drawing in and ejection of a cassette. A control rod is longitudinally displaceable backwards and forwards by a servo motor between end points on its path of movement and, in certain operating positions, controls drive mechanism functions in conjunction with switching transmitters and a logic circuit. A catch rod is movably guided on the control rod in the longitudinal direction of the latter. The catch rod is lockable to the control rod and is mechanically coupled to the loading mechanism of the drive mechanism. The catch rod and the control rod act on a control switch to feed commands imparted by switch actuators on the rods to the logic circuit, which forms switching commands therefrom for apparatus functions.
