Abstract
A drive belt loading system for automatically loading and unloading a drive belt onto a pulley of a removable device employs a conical transfer means for automatically transferring the drive belt to the pulley upon tensioning of the belt. The transfer means is located below the device pulley so that upon slackening of the belt, the belt is automatically unloaded by dropping back onto the transfer means to allow removal of the device. The system is applied to drive belt loading in a magnetic disk file employing a disk module with an external pulley.
