Abstract

A magnetic tape cassette apparatus includes a switching lever which carries a drive wheel and is pivotable about a spindle between two play positions in which the drive wheel engages a respective reel disc. The switching lever is pivotable into a fast winding position between said play positions in which said drive wheel is disengaged from said reel discs and which upon a movement of said spindle engages an intermediate wheel, which intermediate wheel in turn drives a fast forward winding wheel and a fast reverse winding wheel which are selectively engageable with said reel discs for fast winding said reel discs. The fast forward winding wheel and the fast reverse winding wheel are mounted on respective second and third switching levers coupled to said first switching lever. Control slides control the position of the switching levers and the engagement of the fast winding wheels with the reel discs. 50
