ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An automatic threading apparatus for a magnetic tape transport is disclosed using a pantocam. A leader block attached to the free end of the tape from a cartridge is connected to a pick-up pin in attached to one end of a broken arm linkage. The broken arm linkage has its second end fastened to a rotatable shaft. The extension of the broken arm linkage is controlled by a follower link which includes a bearing that follows a cam groove. Rotating the broken arm linkage causes the tape from the cartridge to follow the tape path in a sweeping motion past air bearing guides and a transducer into a take-up reel. The threading pin remains in contact with the leader block which forms a smooth surface for the tape with the take-up reel. TU981026
