Velocity Sensing-The Parameter for a Complete Tape Transport Motion Control

Authors: Strickland, James C.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 20 · Issue 9 · pp. 743–749 · November 1972

Abstract

The use of reel-velocity sensing to improve the multimode handling of a two-inch tape transport is discussed. Operation in play, idle, runout, and fast modes is detailed. Also, considerations in using velocity and position information for nonovershoot automatic rewinds to a preselected location are detailed, with emphasis on approach-slope requirements for human-like operation.
