Abstract

See full text

A supply reel servo for a tape transport in which a motor-driven capstan of low inertia draws tape past a cylindrical scanning drum includes a tension servo arm which provides a signal denoting tape tension in a loop adjacent the supply reel. This signal is compared with a reference to develop an error signal to control the supply reel motor. The reference is modified in response to a signal which represents the energization of the capstan motor and accordingly the torque output thereof so as to provide automatic compensation for variation in tape tension at the scanning drum.
