Abstract
A magnetic tape apparatus includes a forward drive wheel which is coaxial with a forward winding mandrel, a reverse drive wheel which is coaxial with a reverse winding mandrel, and a drive device for driving the forward drive wheel and the reverse drive wheel. The drive device has a drive shaft which can be set to different operating positions. The drive shaft includes a friction-wheel drive portion for driving a friction-wheel portion of the forward drive wheel, and a toothed-wheel drive portion for driving a toothed-wheel portion of the reverse drive wheel. In addition, the drive device can drive the forward drive wheel via a toothed-wheel portion thereof, for which purpose the drive device has a toothed-wheel drive which can be set to a fast-forward driving position in which it is in mesh both with a toothed-wheel drive portion of the drive shaft and with the toothed-wheel portion of the forward drive wheel.
