TAPE DRIVE SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a tape drive system has two tape packs mounted for rotation in a housing. An endless elastic belt is mounted around two rollers to engage the tape packs on their periphery. A first roller is urged by the tension of the belt against the two tape packs and the belt is squeezed between each pack and this first roller. This squeezing action opposes the movement of the belt producing on the belt a tauter portion and a slacker portion which create a tension on the tape. All rotating parts are mounted without friction and only one external drive applied either to the tape or to anyone of these rotating parts is sufficient to drive the tape with a constant speed and a constant tension.
