Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing a low cost tape drive (10) in a reduced form factor while constraining lateral motion of a tape (170) streaming across the transducing face of a magnetic head (11). The apparatus includes two spaced apart reference roller guides (R1, R3) and an adjustment roller guide (R2). Each of the reference rollers (R1, R3) has a surface (84a, 86a) for engagement with a first logitudinal tape edge (90) where both surfaces are planarly aligned. The adjustement surface (88a) is parallel to but vertically offset from the relative position of the reference rollers (R1, R3) and mounted for movement with the second tape edge (92). The adjustment surface (88a) is mounted in such a way and in a position effective to urge the first tape edge (90) into contact with the reference surfaces (84a, 86a) to minimize movement of the tape (170) in a direction perpendicular to the reference surfaces (84a, 86a) and the adjustment surface (88a) during tape advancement.
