Abstract
A tape loading mechanism for withdrawing a magnetic tape from a tape cassette includes a pair of rails, each formed in a plane, for guiding the movement of a pair of tape guide assemblies, respectively. At least one of the rails is inclined with respect to a cylinder base. The tape guide assembly on the inclined rail is positioned at a lower level than the tape in the cassette when the tape is to be loaded, is brought to the same level as the tape during loading and engages the tape at this level to further withdraw the tape from the cassette.
