Abstract
A tape cartridge of the floating roller type, wherein a drive belt is utilized which is thin enough and of a material stiff enough in compression, as compared to the tape rolls, that much of the deformation required to produce tape tension occurs by reason of compression of the tape rolls at the point of contact with the floating roller. The drive belt can lie in a groove of the floating roller, so that the floating roller presses directly on the tape rolls.
