Abstract

The present invention aims to prevent damages of a magnetic tape in a magnetic tape cassette adapted to be operated in a recording and reproducing apparatus which can similarly operate a plurality of magnetic tape cassettes.More specifically, in the invention, differences (A1−B1, A2−B2) between heights A1, A2 of radially inner portions (32a), (42a) of lower flanges (32), (42) and heights B1, B2 of ribs (35a), (45a) of lower halves (35), (45) for restricting a height of the magnetic tape are equal (A1−B1=A2−B2) in a plurality of the magnetic tape cassettes which have the same vertical sizes and different sizes in a horizontal direction.
