Abstract
The transport apparatus has a device for determining the transport speed of a tape-type medium. A linear array sensor is provided, which extends along the transport direction. Furthermore, means are provided in order to image a region of the medium onto the linear array sensor. A signal processing circuit connected to the linear array sensor determines the transport speed of the medium from the output signals of the linear array sensor.
