Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus (1) for a record carrier (5) in tape form which extends between two adjacent hubs (3, 4). The apparatus has two winding spindles (9, 10) for driving the two hubs (3, 4), each of the winding spindles being connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a respective friction wheel (14, 15). A rotatable driving part (18) is rotatably mounted on a swivellable carrier (24) arranged centrally in relation to the two friction wheels (14, 15). The carrier (24) can be swivelled about two swivel bearings (41, 42) situated at a distance from one another, each of which is allocated to one friction wheel (14, 15). When the driving part (18) is in drive connection with one of the two friction wheels (14, 15), a plane (46) through the axis (43) of the driving part (18) and the axis (44, 45) of the swivel bearing (41, 42), allocated to the friction wheel (14, 15) concerned, of the carrier (24) extends essentially perpendicular to a plane (47) through the axis (43) of the driving part (18) and the axis (26, 27) of the friction wheel (14, 15) concerned.
