Abstract
A magnetic tape apparatus having a bearer formed so as to be reciprocatable in the front-rear direction between a cassette insertion position and a cassette mount position on a chassis for inserting a tape cassette, and a rotating cam provided on the chassis for driving the bearer through an interlocking mechanism with a clutch. In the magnetic tape apparatus, the clutch is turned off to release the interlocking mechanism between the bearer and the rotating cam when the bearer is advanced from the cassette mount position to the cassette insertion position, while the clutch is turned on to establish the interlock between the bearer and the rotating cam when the bearer is retreated from the cassette insertion position to the cassette mount position.
