Abstract

A guide structure for an endless magnetic tape has a stationary reel on which the tape is wound in a form of a tape roll. The tape is drawn out from an innermost turn of the tape roll and is taken up on an outermost turn of the tape roll. The guide structure has guides for guiding the tape between the innermost turn and the outermost turn of the tape roll so as to avoid the tape from being twisted.
