Abstract

A magnetic-tape-cassette apparatus includes a tape-loading device having supports (17, 18) which are longitudinally movable on guide members (19, 20) and are caused to perform oppositely directed synchronous movements by means of two traction-means drives (29 to 34) for the purpose of threading a magnetic tape (4). The two traction-means drives (29 to 34) are mechanically coupled by a third traction-means drive (35). Toothed belts (31, 34, 35) used as traction means are driven by a torque generated by an electric motor (36).
