SECTION I
DESCRlp·TION / SPECIFICATIDNS
1-1.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

1-2. The Ampex Series TM-2 tape. transport is designed for use in the
digital da~a systems. The transport consists basically of two assemblies:
a tape transport assembly and a transport electronics
assembly.
1-3. SELECTIVE.AND OPTIONAL FEATURES. Tape transports are available
for use with ~-inch .or I-inch tape, on Ampex or IBM-compatible reels.'
A choice of tape speeds is also permissible. The inclusion of· a
transport access door, manua.l control panel,· and photosense uni t for
. detecting beginning or end of tape is determined by customer require~
ments.
1-4.

TAPE TRANSPORT.

. (Figure 1-1.)

1-5. The function'of the tape transport. is to move' the magnetic tape,
in response to .command signals, across the write and read.heads so
that information may be recorded on, or read from, the tape. The
tape is driven by two counter-rotating capstans and capstan rollers.
Rapid changes in tape speed and directions are facilitated by storing
tape in vacuum chambers adjace'nt to the capstans. The inertia of the
storage reels is thus isolated from the tape drive system, and only
the mass of the tape in the drive area need be accelerated or decelerated. The vacuum chambers also provide sensing elements for a
servo system which seeks to maintain a nominally constant length of
tape in each chamber.
1-6. A dual-speed, hysteresis-synchronous motor is used to drive
both capstans through a belt and pulley arrangement. The higher tape
speed i$ used in 'the FAST FORWARD and FAST REVERSE (REWIND) modes.
1-7. Tape is guided across the write and read heads by guides integral to the head assembly. Other tape guiding elements are located
at the entrances and exits of the vacuum chambe'rs, and at the supply
and take-up reels. Tape packer arms, functioning with the supply and
take-up reels, ensure smooth tape packing.

,1-8.

A vacuum blower, mounted on the rear of the tape transport, is
connected through air ducts to the vacuum chambers. This system provides proper tape tensioning, operates in conjunction with trans~
ducers to indicate the length of the tape loop within each of the
chambers, and· maintains a smooth tape loop configuration in the
chambers, without danger of folding or kinking.
1-1

1-9. The tape transport is intended to operate with a closed access
door. Transports with Ampex-supplied doors (optional) are equipped
with an interlock switch to disable the transport while the door is
open. A positive pressure blower, mounted on the rear of the transport maintains a slight increase over atmospheric pressure between the
transport and the door to exclude dust.
1-10. Tape is threaded on the transport by means of a permanent
leader, attached to the take-up reel, which is manually connected to
each new reel of tape mounted on the supply reel hub. other features
of the transport include sensing devices which stop the tape motion
upon contact with the beginning-of-reel or end-of-reel leaders; a
write lockout switch, actuated by a ring placed on the supply reel hub
and interlock circuitry to prevent
tape motion when the tape threading
clamp is in the closed position.
1-11. The tape transport may be
supplied hinge-mounted to the left
side of the rack or cabinet, permitting the unit to be swung open
for ease of inspection, maintenance
or service.
1-12.

HEAD ASSEMBLY.

(Figure 1-2.)

1-13. The head assembly is mounted
on the tape transport and performs
the actual read and/or write function with respect to the tape.
Head assemblies consist of a head
mounting plate and head stacks; the
exact number and configuration of
stacks depends on the tape width,
track arrangement, and type of
head.
1-14.

Tape Transport ,

PHOTOSENSE.

1-15. This optional feature is
accomplished by a device which detects reflective markers affixed
to the mylar side of the tape.
It
provides signals to external control circuitry indicating the
approach of the beginning or end

of the tape.
The device is comprised of two units:
the head, mounted
on the vacuum chamber associated with the supply reel, and the electronics chassis, mounted on the "rear of the tape transport.

(F igure 1-3)

1-17. The transport electronics assembly is composed of those ele ctronic units required for operation of the tape transpor t. Mounted
in this assembly are an actuator power supply, a servo motor (reel
motor) power supply, a connector chassis, an actuator control circuit
board, and a dual servo amplifier circuit board.
These elements, in
conjunction with transducers, switches, and circuitry mounted on the
tape transport, exercise complete control over the tape unit i n
accordance with signals generated by the manual control panel or by
external equipment.
1-18.

MANUAL CONTROL PANEL.

(Figure 1-4.)

1-19. The manual control panel is used when local control of the
tape transport is required, or when it is desired to remove the
transport from the control of exter nal equipment for maintenance procedures. Although the manual control panel is an optional accessory,
equivalent control circuitry must be provided if no manual control
panel is supplied.

All

interna.l or e xter n a l interlocks and time delays are complete and the
capst~ns are turning.
The supply and take-up reels are locked in posi~
tion by the reel brakes, and the ' servo systems, which seek to maintain
n ominally constant length loops in the vacuum chambers, are , disabled.
A power ON indicator on the manual control panel is illuminated.
Manual Ready Mode
Similar to the Standby mode except that the MODE SELECTOR switch on
the manual control panel, or similar external switch, has been placed
in the MANUAL position. The reel brakes are released and the vacuum
chambers ac tivated. Manual commands will control the tape mot i on.
Automatic Ready Mode
Similar to the Manual Ready mode except that the MODE SELECTOR switch
on the manual con trol panel, or similar external switch, has been
placed in the AUTO position. Tape motion may be initiated by
automatic commands.
Forward Drive Mode
Equipment which was in one of the Ready modes has been given a
Forward Start command. The tape has been engaged betwee n the forward

capstan and capstan 'roller and is moving from the supply reel to the
take-up reel at the nominal drive speed.
Reverse Drive Mode
Equipment which was in one of the Ready modes has been given a
Reverse start command. The tape has been engaged between the reverse
capstan and capstan roller and is moving from the take-up reel to the
file reel at the nominal drive speed.
Fast Drive Mode
Identical to the Forward and Reverse Drive modes except that the
equipment has also been given a Fast command. The tape moves at
twice the nominal drive speed.
Forward start Command
This command may be effected by the following means:
1)

With the system in the Manual Ready mode, place the MANUAL
CONTROL switch in the FWD position.

2)

When a manual control panel is not used, ground the FORWARD
ON terminal through external equipment or apply a positivegoing voltage to the FORWARD AUTO terminal.

3)

With the system in the Automatic Ready mode,. apply a positivegoing voltage to the FORWARD AUTO terminal.

Reverse start Command
This command may be effected by the following means:

1-6

1)

With the system in the Manual Ready mode, operate the MANUAL
CONTROL switch to the REV position.

2)

When a manual control panel is not used, ground the REVERSE
ON terminal through external equipment or apply a positivegoing voltage to the REVERSE AUTO terminal.

3)

With the system in the Automatic Ready mode, apply a positivegoing voltage to the REVERSE AUTO terminal.

Fast Command
This command may be effected by .the following means:
1)

With the system in the Manual Ready mode, place the MANUAL
CONTROL switch in the FAST FWD or FAST REV position
(depending on the desired tape direction) •

2)

With the system in the Automatic Ready mode, or when a manual
control panel is not used, connect the 24v supply to the
terminal. A tape start command must also be given.

stop Command
This command may be effected by the following means:
1)

with the system operating in the Manual mode (forward or
reverse, normal or fast tape speeds), place the MANUAL
CONTROL switch in the STOP position. The system will now be
in the Manual Ready mode.

2)

With the system operating in the Automatic mode, remove any
commands previously applied to the FORWARD or REVERSE AUTO
terminals. Any previously applied FAST command should also
be removed.

3)

When a manual control panel is not used, remove any commands
previously applied to the FORWARD or REVERSE AUTO terminals,
remove a ground previously applied to an ON terminal, and
apply a ground to a FORWARD OFF or REVERSE OFF terminal
through external equipment.

When a stop command is given during a fast mode any sUbsequent Start
command must be delayed until the capstan speed has returned to
normal.

NOTE
Programming limitations for the command
signals mentioned above will be found
under specifications in this section.
(Refer to paragraph 1-33.)
1-26. The following description shows the application of a series of
commands to the system.

1-7

1-27. Assume that the tape transport is in either the Manual Ready
or Automatic Ready mode, power is applied to the system, and all interlocks and time delays are completed. The reel brakes are released
and the servos activated to maintain approximately 30 inches of tape
in each vacuum chamber.
1-28. The transport receives a Forward start command. The actuator
control circuitry in the electronics assembly applies a pulse to the
ON winding Of the,forward actuator.' This actuator moves the forward
capstan roller to engage the tape with the forward capstan and the
tape is driven past the heads at a rate determined by the capstan
speed, while the reel drive servos maintain the correct length of tape
in the vacuum chambers. The tape will continue to move forward until
a Forward stop command is received in the control electronics assembly~
At this time the actuator control unit will pulse the actuator OFF
winding, moving the capstan roller, once more, to its open position.
1-29. As the capstan roller moves away from the capstan, a tape
brake mounted on the opposite end of the capstan roller assembly from
the capstan roller briefly presses against the tape, which is supported by a metal brake post. This overcomes the inertia presented by
the tape and aids in halting tape motion. The equipment is now ready
to accept another command signal.
(It should be noted that the tape
motion across the heads is not stopped by the reel motors. The reel
motors are stopped by dynamic braking under the control of the reel
servo systems.)
,
1-30. When the equipment is in the Forward Drive mode, the capstan is
removing tape from the supply (left) vacuum chamber and adding it to
the take-up (right) vacuum chamber. The result is a tendency for the
loop in the left chamber to diminish in size while the loop in the
right chamber tends to grow longer. ·The servo system senses these
changes and counteracts them by paying out tape or reeling in tape as
required. The actual sensing is accomplished through slots in the base
of the chambers, connected to pneumatic transducers. The tape in the
vacuum chamber effectively forms a wall between the vacuum on one side
of the tape and the slightly higher than atmospheric pressure (because
of a positive pressure blower adding air to the space between the
transport frame and the closed transport access door) on the other
side of the tape. A vacuum sensing device (transducer) connected to
this slot senses variations in vacuum resulting from exposure of more
or less of the slot to atmosphere as the length of the loop:varies
within the chamber. The vacuum sensing device takes the form of a
diaphragm, expansion or contraction of which moves the core of a differential transformer. The primary of this transformer is excited by
a signal from an oscillator. When the core of the transformer is

1-8

equid~stant

from the two secondaries, the output of a demodulator is
by the transducer is minimal. This null condition is intended to occur when the ends o£ the tape loops in the column are
approximately 12.75 inches apart. Any variation in loop l.ength
results in generation of an error signal, changing the demodulator
output. The demodulator output in turn controls a d-c servo amplifier,
which in turn controls firing of thyratrons in the servo motor power
supply. Depending upon the polarity of the demodulator signal (determined by the direction of core shift in the transducer) either the
clockwise or counterclockwise thyratrons will fire, causing rotation
of the reel motor. This rotation will feed more tape into the vacuum
chamber if the loop size has been diminishing, or remove tape from the
chamber if the loop has been growing in size. This action continues
until the loop reaches its null length, at which time the core of the
transformer has returned to its central position, removing the error
signal from the demodulator input.
exci~ed

1-31. Assume that the command source signals the transport to enter
a high-speed mode. The Fast command signals a relay controlling the
capstan drive motor assembly to switch power from the low speed
winding of the capstan drive motor to the high-speed winding. The
actuator for the appropriate tape direction remains closed, and the
capstan roller holds the tape against the capstan. The servo systems
continue to maintain appropriate loop length in the vacuum chambers.
1-32. Assume that the tape is moving from the take-up reel to the
supply reel at high speed (Fast Reverse mode) . As the take-up reel is
nearly emptied (determined by the angle of the lower tape packer arm)
a microswitch is tripped to shift operation to the normal Reverse
Drive mode.

Access Door Interlock--Places tape unit in Standby mode when
transport access door is opened. A mechanical override is provided to facilitage service with the door open.
Long Loop/Short Loop Interlock--Interrupts command input circuits
whenever a short loop or long loop is incurred; simultaneously
applying stop commands to both actuators, permitting reel servos
to attempt to correct the condition. After 100-150 msec, if condition has not been corrected, tape transport is placed in Standby
mode.
Leader Clamp Interlock--Closing the leader clamp places the tape
unit in the Standby mode.
Servo Motor Thermal Interlock--A thermal overload switch opens the
reel motor circuit if the internal temperature reaches an unsafe
level.
outputs
Interlock Interruption--In the Automatic mode, a -24 vdc signal is
removed from the Auto Ready Line when any of the following conditions is incurred: closure of tape leader clamp, long or short
loop condition, opening of the transport access door, vacuum
failure, or -operation of the servo adjustment switch. The Auto
Ready signal is also removed when the MODE SELECTOR switch on the
manual control panel is placed in the Standby or Manual mode
positions.
Long Loop/Short Loop Warning--A signal is provided when tape loops
in the vacuum chambers exceed specified limits. Contact rating of
the switch is 150 rna maximum at -24 vdc.
Tape Leader Sensing--A conductive leader sensing guide is located
near each reel; each guide consists of three rings insulated from

1-13

each other. The inner ring is grounded and serves as a ground return for remote circuits. Maximum capacity of each contact is
60 rna at 24 vdc. Arc suppression must be provided if contacts are
connected to an inductive load.
controls
Comma"nds
The tape unit may be operated from the computer programmer
or from the manual control panel.
Interlocks are provided
to protect the operator as well as the tape. Manual control
panel commands are discussed below. other command signals
are as follows:
start/stop Signals--Start and stop commands for forward and
" reverse operation are generated by a level change of 8 vdc
(+12 vdc, -0 vdc) into 1000 ohms with a maximum rise time of
10 usec. The maximum level of these commands with respect
to ground must not exceed 25 vdc. A positive-going change
is a start command; removal of this command (a negative-going
change) is a Stop command.
Separation of Forward and Reverse Commands--Isolated command
inputs are used for Forward and Reverse tape directions.
High-Speed Tape Motion--Fast commands are generated by a 24vdc signal (0.25 amp max.). Removal of this level returns
the capstan drive motor to normal speed.
Command Timing--An interlock is provided to prevent acceptance of commands which will turn on one actuator if the other
actuator is on.
Manual Control Panel
The manual control panel provides the following controls:
Power Switch--Master switch for all power used in tape
transport.
Mode Selector--Places tape transport in Automatic, Standby,
or Manual mode.
Manual Control Switch--In the Manual mode, controls tape
motion between fast forward, forward, stop, reverse or fast
reverse.
1-14

Manual Write/Leader Drive--In Manual mode, supplies 24 vdc
to external system, to be used to energize write relays.
Also in Manual mode, overrides end-of-tape leader stop to
permit tape motion.
Interlocks and Indicators
Rewind Time Delay--In the Manual mode, a delay of from 5 to
25 seconds is used to prevent ~peration of tape during deceleration time of capstan.

2.

Read and write electronics must be placed so that lengthening of the head cables beyond the SO-inch length supplied
is not required. The increased capacitance associated with
long head cables will impair high-frequency response.

3.

The unit should be located in an area characterized by ambient temperatures between 60 0 and S5 0 F, 45% - 65% RH.

4.

The unit must not be located in proximity to any strong
magnetic fields.

5.

A reasonably dust and dirt free environment is required.

2-3. Components of the tape transport are designed for mounting in a
standard 19-inch cabinet rack.
If the unit is supplied with an
Ampex cabinet rack, -tt is shipped nearly fully assembled and cabled,
and the rack need only be fastened in position.

2-1

2-4. The manual control panel, if supplied, may be mounted on the
same bracket as a horizontally-mounted transport electronics assembly:
this configuration requires no additional rack space for the manual
,control panel. The manual control panel may also be mounted directly
above a vertically-mounted transport electronics assembly.
In tl~is
configuration, seven inches of rack space are required, for the manual
control panel.
2-5. The vol tage regula,tor is mounted on the s ide panel of Ampex cabinet racks.
In custom installations, it may be mounted similarly or
in any other convenient location which affords ample support.
2-6. The dimensions and recommended clearances for the Ampex ,cabinet
rack are shown in Figure 2-1.
In general, similar clearances will be
required for all mounting schemes.
2-7.

UNCRATING.

2-8. Each TM-2 tape transport is packed in a custom-built case for
maximum protection in shipment. This case is designed for shipment
in a horizontal attitude, and should not be handled in an upright
position.' In uncrating the tape transport, dismantle the shipping
case carefully to avoid damage. Check the contents of the co'ntainer
carefully against the packing slip, and investigate the equipment for
damage.
2-9. The voltage regulator transformer (shipped unmounted) must be
mounted in the cabinet. Voltage regulator transformers for 60 cycle
tape transports are mounted on the right side of the' cabinet as viewed
frol11 the rear: voltage regulator transformers for 50 cycle tape
transports are similarly mounted on the left side of the cabinet.
Tapped holes are provided in the cabinet for the voltage regulator
transformer and for cable clamps holding the connecting cable to
T.B709 on the tape transport.
2-10. A shipping lock over the transport latch inside the Ampex,cabinet rack must be removed before the latch can be operated.
2-11. The transport electronics assembly is locked during shipping
in the Ampex cabinet rack by angle brackets at each side. These
locks must be removed before the electronics can be withdrawn from
the front for serviclng.

captive to the manual control panel to J303 on the transport
electronics assembly. If no manual control panel is supplied, suitable similar circuitry must be connected through
J303; see Figure 2-7.

step 4:

If the tape transport is to be programmed from the tape control unit of a computer or other external source, connect
this source to J304 and J305 on the transport electronics
assembly. Mating connectors are supplied with the tape
transport. Typical control circuitry is indicated in Figure
2-7.

Step 5:

connect the voltage regulator cable fanning strip to TB709
on the rear of the tape transport.

step 6:

Connect the cooling fan for the rack cabinet to terminals
1 and 2 on TB709, unless the power for this fan is to be
supplied elsewhere.

2-15.

HEAD CABLE CONNECTIONS.

2-16.

The write head cables are terminated in 19-pin male Cannon
one connector being used for each eight-track cable. The
read head cables are terminated in similar 19-pin female Cannon connectors. Mating receptacles are provided on Ampex signal electronics
assemblies; when no such electronics are provided, mating connectors
must be furnished by the user.

PRINTED CIRCUIT CARDS.

2-19. The servo oscillator card, actuator control unit card, and
servo amplifier card are not shipped in their sockets. The servo
oscillator card should be placed in its housing on the rear of the
tape transport, and the actuator control and servo amplifier cards in
their respective positions in the transport electronics assembly.
Power may now be applied to the system.
2-20.

INITIAL CHECKOUT.

2-21. When the installation procedures described above have been
completed, initial checkout may be performed~ Thread a reel of tape
on the transport as detailed in Section III of this manual.
2-22. Apply power to the equipment. Ensure that the vacuum motor is
operating properly, the tape loops are formed in the vacuum chambers,
and the capstans are rotating, driving the capstan rollers through
the quad rings.
2-23. Operate the transport in the forward direction until all of
the tape is on the take-up reel. Rewind the tape onto the supply
reel.

NOIE
Irregular tape packing from a previous
machine may cause faulty tape tracking.
Therefore, this check should not be
performed without repacking the tape on
the supply reel.

With the actuator in the OFF position
the tape should never touch the capstan roller. Contact with the roller
may cause dropouts because of excessive
wear on the oxide side of the tape.
Check to see that the tape is as close as possible to the capstan
without touching it.
If the tape touches either the capstan roller
or the capstan, refer to paragraph 4-12 for adjustment procedure.

and reverse directions. With the eyes at the level of the capstan
rollers, observe the tape path between the capstan rollers and the
vacuum chambers, between the capstan rollers and the head guides, and
across the head.
If any rippling, curling, or horizontal shift of
the tape is evident, adjust the tape guide.s as described in paragraph
4-10. If the servo response appears sluggish or jittery, refer to
paragraph 4-13 for adjustment procedure.
2-25. While the tape is moving in the forward and reverse directions,
observe the action of the tape packer arms. The packer arm shoe must
at no time touch the reel flanges. Should the shoe contact the reel,
it may be adjusted as detailed in paragraph 4-17.

BECTION III
OPERATION
3-1.

GENERAL.

3-2. The information contained in this section is based on the assumption that an Ampex manual control panel is incorporated into the
tape transport. since equivalent control circuitry must be provided
by the customer if a manual control panel is not included with the
tape transport, only minor differences in nomenclature should occur
and no basic difference in operating procedure will be encountered.
3-3.

OPERATING CONTROLS.

3-4. The operating controls for the tape transport are grouped on the
front panel of the manual control panel. These controls and their

THREADING TAPE LEADER.

3-6. Under normal operating conditions, the take-up reel of the
transport is never removed. Successive reels of tape, or files, are
placed on the supply reel hub.
3-7. The operation of re-threading the tape transport for each supply reel is avoided by att~ching a permanent leader to the take-up
reel. A connector tab on this leader mates with notches in the leader
of each supply reel.
3-8. The machine leader is normally supplied on the take-up reel and
will last for many months in normal operation. Should the leader require replacement, the following procedure is recommended.
step 1:

Remove any leader or tape from the take-up reel.

step 2:

place the tape transport in the standby mode. Press the
lower REEL BRAKE pushbutton and starting with the plain end
of the new leader, wind approximately 10 feet of leader on
the reel by rotating a reel in a clockwise direct;i.on.

Step 3:

Open the tape drive mechanism cover and the glass vacuum
chamber doors.

step 4:

Referring to Figure 3-2, pass the tape to the left of the
lower leader sensing post, over the roller guide of the
vacuum chamber, and between the lower vacuum chamber guide
and the chamber wall.

Step 5:

Route the leader over the upper guide, between the upper
guide and the chamber wall, under the buffer spring guide of
the vacuum chamber, between the right-hand brake weight and
brake post, and between the right-hand capstan and capstan
roller.

step 6:

Pass the leader over the right-hand guide of the head assembly, between the hinged head cover and the head stack, and
under the left-hand guide on the head assembly.

step 7:

continue the thread"ing by passing the leader between the
left-hand capstan and capstan roller and the left-hand brake
weight and brake post. Pass the leader between the photosense head and the buffer spring guide of the left-hand
vacuum chamber. If photo sense' is not used, the leader is
routed directly over the buffer spring guide of the lefthand vacuum chamber.

3-2

Figure 3-2 .

Tape Threading Path

step 8:

3-9 .

Thread the leader between the lower chamber guide and the
chamber wall, over the upper chamber guide and between this
guide and the chamber wall, and under the roller guide on
the vacuum chamber. Open the lea der clamp at the upper
leader sensing post and clamp the leader against the post • .
Close the vacuum chamber doors and the tape drive mechanism
cover.

INSTALLING SUPPLY REEL.

(F igure 3-3)

3-1 0 . When t h e permanent leader has b.een threaded on the tape transport as above, the supply reel may be installed by following the
procedure below .
Step 1:

Open the transport access doo r and engage the leader clamp
(if no t already engaged).

Step 2:

(Ampex reel retainer)--Press the serrated end of the reel
retainer handle.
If the reel retainer has previously been
locked, the l o ck will release.
(IBM Compatible reel retainer)--Rotate the retainer knob in
a counterclockwise direction until the metal plate no longer
pre sses against the tire.

step 3:

If a write enable r ing is to be used, install the ring on
the back of the supply reel.

step 4:

(Ampex reel retai ner)--Slip the supply reel over the reel
retainer. Hold the r eel firmly against the turntable surface and rotate the r eel retainer handle approximately 120
degrees clockwise, at which point the reel retainer handle
will lock into positio n. Check t o see that the reel is
snugly mounted on the retainer.

step 9:

Close the transport access door.

NOIE
The transport access door must be closed
to complete the tape transport interlock.
step 10:

Place the MODE SELECTOR switch in the MANUAL position.
Place the MANUAL CONTROL switch in the FORWARD position.
Hold the MANUAL WRITE/LEADER DRIVE switch in the LEADER
DRIVE position until metallized leader no longer contacts
the sensing posts. When the MANUAL WRITE/LEADER drive control is released it will automatically return to OFF position. Tape will continue to move in the forward direction.

step 11:

Permit the tape to move forward until the opaque recording
tape is completely threaded between the supply and take-up
reels. Tape motion may now be stopped by turning the MANUAL
CONTROL switch to the STOP position.

3-11.

MANUAL OPERATION.

3-12. Manual operation is obtained at all times when the MODE SELECTOR
switch is in the MANUAL position. Tape motion control is exclusively
a function of the five-position MANUAL CONTROL switch, with writing
possible when the MANUAL WRITE/LEADER DRIVE switch is in the MANUAL
WRITE position.
3-13. If an entire reel of tape is to be run, the MANUAL CONTROL
switch may be left in the FORWARD position. The tape transport will
move tape forward until metallized leader at the end of the supply reel
contacts the leader sensing post, at which time tape motion will automatically stop. Likewise, the tape may be moved in the reverse direction at normal tape drive speed by utilizing the REVERSE position of
the MANUAL CONTROL switch. Tape motion will stop when the metallic
leader at the beginning of the supply reel contacts the tape sensing
posts.
3-14. If only certain portions of the tape are to be run, the desired
section may be more rapidly reached by the use of the FAST FORWARD or
FAST REVERSE positions of the MANUAL CONTROL switch. The presence of
the metallic leader will stop, the tape transport at the end of the reel.
(FAST FORWARD and FAST REVERSE operation are locked out when the diameter of the tape pack on the take-up reel falls below a minimum
point. )

3-6

3-15. If the tape motion is interrupted for any reason, such as
breaking the tape transport control interlock circuitry by opening the
transport access door, the MANUAL CONTROL switch must be turned to the
STOP position after the interruption is cleared before tape motion can
be resumed.
3-16.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION.

3-17. Placing the MODE SELECTOR switch on the manual control panel in
the AUTO position connects all control inputs of the tape unit to external equipment. Control of tape motion is therefore exclusively a
function of the computer, and operation of the MANUAL CONTROL or
MANUAL WRITE/LEADER DRIVE switches will have no effect on operation.
3-18. If tape motion is interrupted for any reason, such as breaking
tape t~ansport control interlock circuitry by opening the transport
access door, tape motion is resumed as soon as the interruption is
cleared. If this is not desirable, the MODE SELECTOR switch should be
turned to the STANDBY position before the interruption is cleared.
It
will be noted that even though the operation is resumed immediately
upon clearance of the interruption, the logical sequence of the programming may be destroyed.
3-19.

REMOVING SUPPLY REEL.

3-20. When operating in the MANUAL mode, tape motion is automatically
stopped by the presence of metallic leader across the upper leader
sensing post.
(Leads from this post are available for similar control
in the AUTOMATIC mode.)
To return the tape to the supply reel, the
following procedure should be followed:
step 1:

Turn the MODE SELECTOR switch to the MANUAL position, the
MANUAL CONTROL switch to the FAST REVERSE position, and the
MANUAL WRITE/LEADER DRIVE switch to the LEADER DRIVE position.
The tape will move at high speed from the take-up reel to the
supply reel. As the rewind cycle is nearly completed the
position of the take-up reel packer arm trips a switch to
slow the tape transport to normal reverse speed. As the metallic leader passes over the upper leader sensing post, tape
motion is automatically stopped.

Step 2:

Turn the MODE SELECTOR switch to STANDBY and the MANUAL CONTROL switch to STOP.

Step 3:

Open the transport access door.

3-7

step 4:

The tape will be stopped with the leader connection between
the supply reel and the leader clamp. Close the leader clamp,
gripping the tape.

step 5:

Disconnect the permanent machine leader from the supply
leader.

step 6:

Depress the upper REEL BRAKE pushbutton and rotate the reel
in a counterclockwise direction until the supply leader is
completely wound on the reel.

step 7:

(Ampex reel retainer)--Depress the serrated end of the reel
retainer handle to release the lock j permit the handle to
rotate in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the reel from
the hub.
(IBM Compatible reel retainer)--Turn the retainer knob in a
counterclockwise direction until the reel can be removed from
the hub.

step 8:

3-21.

The equipment is now ready to be reloaded. If an.other supply
reel is not to be installed immediately, close the transport
access door.
INTERLOCKS.

with the transport access door interlock
defeated, the servo systems may be operative. The operator should avoid placing
hands near the reels unless the system is
in the STANDBY mode.
3-22. Interlocks are provided in the tape transport mechanism to protect the operator and tape. These interlocks should be defeated only
when absolutely necessary and with full realization of potential
haza~ds.

3-23. The transport access qoor interlock switch, located at the
lower left front of the tape transport, permits operation of the transport only with the access door closed or when the switch has been defeated. The defeat is possible by gripping the plunger and pulling it
toward the operator.

3-8

3-24.

PREPARING TAPE INDICATORS.

3-25. The tape sensing posts mounted near the supply reel and the
take-up reel may be used for indicators in control circuits, logic
circuits, etc. Metallized leader placed on "the tape backing may be
used" to ground either or both insulated rings of the sensing post
(if the metal leader· extends across the lower half of the width of
the tape, the inner ring will be grounded; if the leader extends the
full width of the tape, both rings will be grounded). The maximum
current capacity of each sensing post is 60 milliamperes. The posts
are completely available only when the transport is operating in the
AUTOMATIC mode; in MANUAL operation, the outer ring of the upper
leader sensing post is required to stop tape motion.
.
3-26. If a photosense unit is incorporated into the tape transport,
a level change and/or relay operation are available for control and
logic circuits. Photosense signals are not used within the tape unit.
Two channels are used, one each for beginning of file and end of file.
Placement of the photosense tabs on the tape is indicated in Figure
3-5.

CHECKOUT AND AD.JUSTMENT
4-1.

GENERAL.

4-2. Each Ampex TM-2 Tape Transport is carefully checked out before
shipment from the factory and, barring major shipping damage, is ready
for operation immediately upon unpacking.
4-3. The information contained in this section may be used for troubleshooting the transport, checking operating parameters, and adjusting
for optimum performance. The tests and adjustments indicated are alsoadvisable after extensive maintenance operations have been performed.
4-4. CHECKING TAPE TRACKING. Tape tracking is most readily checked by
cycling, the tape transport rapidly between the forward and reverse directions. The operator should observe the tape path between the capstan roller assemblies and the vacuum chambers (the eyes should be at
the level of the capstan rollers). There should be no evidence of skew
or tape misguiding; that is, the tape should be perfectly flat with no
twist or ripple. When the tape is viewed across the head there should
be no discernible horizontal shift of the tape. Adjustment of the tape
guides ~~ described in paragraph 4-12. Cycling of the transport also
permits observation of the servos controlling tape loop length in the
vacuum chambers. If the servo response appears sluggish or jittery it
should be checked as detailed in paragraph 4-13.
4-5. CHECKING TAPE PACKER ALIGNMENT. During the check of tape tracking observe the action of the tape packer arms. The packer arm shoe
must at no time touch the reel flanges. Should the shoe contact the
reel, it may be adjusted as detailed in paragraph 4-17.
4-6. CHECKING CAPSTAN ROLLER ADJUSTMENT. Capstan roller gap and tape
brake gap are extremely important adjustments in terms of meeting start
and stop and distance requirements. The gap between capstan and capstan
roller should be checked with a feeler gauge when the actuator is OFF
and the tape is removed from the capstan roller. Measured at the tightest point the gap should be actuator throw minus .006 +.001 inch. The
gap between brake pad and brake post should be checked with a feeler
gauge when the actuator is off and the tape removed. The gap should
be .001 +.002 inch.
4-7. CAPSTAN ROLLER ADJUSTMENT. The capstan roller assemblies must be
carefully adjusted to meet start/stop time and distance requirements.
In addition, no "skew" of the tape as it emerges from the capstan and
capstan roller may be tolerated.
(See Figure 4-1.)

4-1

step 1:

Check actuator shaft bearing and support post to ensure that
the bearing is running freely, the bearing shell is firmly
clamped, and no strain is placed on the bearing by the support post. This is best done by loosening the support post
screws (G) while checking the bearing. These screws should
then be tightened while the support post is held in a position where no strain is placed on the bearing.

Step 2:

Subtract '.006 inch from the actuator 'throw measurement. For
actuator throw measurment see paragraph 4-8. The remainder
will be the correct gap setting for any capstan roller assembly used with the one actuator. The actuator throw measuremeht is given on a gummed label 'attached to each actuator but in the event that the label has been removed or
defaced the actuator throw may be measured by the procedure
given in paragraph 4-8.

Step 3:

Loosen the two socket head cap screws (A) which clamp the
capstan roller yoke to th~ actuator shaft.

Step 4:

Using a feeler gauge .002 or .003 inch smaller than the value
determined in Step 2, rotate the yoke on the actuator shaft
(actuator in the OFF position) so that the feeler gauge is
clamped between capstan roller and capstan.

Step 5:

Tighten the two screws (A) clamping the yoke to the actuator
shaft. While tightening th~se screws the slight rotation of
the yoke on the shaft will consume the .002 or .003 inch allowed in Step 4.

FRONT
ECCENTRIC (D)

REAR
ECCENTRIC (E)---i:~~~~~

step 6:

Check the roller gap with
a feeler gauge of the
thickness determined in
Step 2. The gap should
be within .001 inch of
this value at >the tightest point. If the gap is
not within this limit,
Steps 3 through 6 should
be repeated until the gap
is correct.

step 7:

Repeat steps 1 through 6
for the other actuator
assembly.

Step 8:

Loosen the socke.t head cap screw (B) for the left-nand tape
brake post.

Step 9:

Place a .Oll-inch feeler gauge between the brake pad on the
capstan roller assembly and the brake post. Use a wrench to
rotate the brake post'on its eccentric until the feeler gauge
is just held between the post and the pad. Hold the post in
this position with the wrench while tightening the brake post
screw (B).

step 10:

Check the brake gap with a feeler gauge.
.011 +.002 inch repeat Steps 8 and 9.

step 11:

Repeat Steps 8 through 10 for the right-hand tape brake.

step 12:

Thread the.transport with tape.

step 13:

If the gap is not

Operate the transport in the Forward Drive mode. Observe the
tape as it passes through the right-hand capstan roller. If
any distortion (bowing, waving, etc.) of the tape is observed
loosen the two socket head screws that clamp the eccentrics
. within the yoke (C). Manipulate the front and rear eccentrics
(D and E) until the tape emerging from the capstan roller is
smooth, flat, and straight. Tighten the socket head cap
screws (C).

step 14:

Repeat Step 6.

step 15:

Operate the transport in the Reverse Drive.mode and repeat
Steps 13 and 14 for the left-hand capstan roller.

step 16:

Check the start and stop times as described in Section IV
and re-adjust the capstan rollers as needed to meet the desired times. The roller gap and/or brake gap should be increased if the stop and/or start is too short and decreased
if it is too long but only within the limits of +.001 inch of
the value determined in Step 2.

4-8. MEASURING ACTUATOR THROW. The throw of the actuator may be determined by the following procedure:
step 1:

step 2:

With the machine off, remove the tape and manually rotate the
right-hand (forward) capstan roller assembly to its ON position
(in contact with the capstan) •
Referring to Figure 4-1,; loosen the two socket head cap screws
(A) which clamp the capstan roller yoke to the actuator shaft.

4-3

step 3:

Rotate the capstan roller yoke on the actuator shaft so that
the roller is just in contact with the capstan.

step 4:

Tighten the screws which clamp the yoke to the actuator shaft.
Check to see that the roller is still in contact with the ~ap­
stan.

Step 5:

Man'ually rotate the capstan roller assembly to its OFF position.

step 6:

Using a feeler gauge, determine the gap between the capstan
and the capstan roller. This figure represents the actuator
throw. Mark this figure on the actuator for future reference.

Step 7:

Repeat Steps 1 through 6 for the left-hand (reverse) capstan
roller actuator.

4-9. CHECKING START/STOP TIME. The start time is defined as, the
time ,after the actuator ON command until the tape motion falls within
prescribed tolerances. Th~ stop time is defined as that tim'e required
for the output of the read head to drop to zero following the actuator
OFF command. A test tape is required to check start/stop time. This
tape should be recorded at normal tape drive speed with an NRZ signal
used to write logical ONE's on all tracks at a frequency of 50 kc for
150 ips tape transports, 40 kc for 120 ips tape transports, or a comparable ratio for other speeds. In addition to this test tape, the
following equipment is required to check start/stop times:
1)

Read amplifier capable of developing 2.0 volts peak-to-peak
across 600 ohm load.

2)

Calibrated oscilloscope, Tektronix 535A or equivalent.

Step 1:

Thread the test tape on the tape transP9rt.

step 2:

Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 4-4. The oscilloscope should be triggered by the FORWARD START command
(positive pulse) •

Step 3:

Program the transport at a convenient rate in the AUTOMATIC
mode. The oscilloscope will display the forward start time
characteristic of the tape transport, which, should resemble
Figure 4-3a. Start 'time, as determined from'the oscilloscope
display, should be under, 2.0 milliseconds. If this specification is not met, adjustment of the 'forward capstan roller
gap will be required, as detailed in paragraph 4-7.

4-4

Step 4:

Readjust the oscilloscope to trigger on a negative .pulse. The
oscilloscope will now display the forward stop time characteristic of the tape transport, which should resemble Figure 4-3b.
stop time of the transport should be under 1.5 milliseconds.
If this specification is not met, adjustment of the forward
tape brake, as detailed in paragraph 4-7, will be required.

Step 5:

Reconnect the test equipment so that the oscilloscope is triggered by the Reverse Start command. The oscilloscope should
be set to trigger on a positive pulse.

step 6:

Operate the tape transport in the AUTOMATIC mode. The oscilloscope will again display the reverse start characteristic of
the tape transport. Start time should be under 2.0 milliseconds; the reverse capstan roller gap should be adjusted as
required to achieve this specification.

step 7:

Reset the oscilloscope to trigger on a negative pulse. The
oscilloscope will display the reverse stop characteristic of
the tape transport, which should be under 1.5 milliseconds.
The tape brake should be adjusted as required until this specification is met.

NOlIE
In cases where the tape
transport does not meet
start/stop time specifications after the capstan roller gap and tape
brake gap have been
checked, rotation of the
buffer guides around their
axes on the vacuum chamber is indicated.
4-10. CHECKING START/STOP DISTANCE.
Start distance is defined as the
length of tape passing over the read
head during the start time; stop
distance is defined as the length
of tape passing over the read head
during the stop time. Start and
stop distances are specified by
tape width and tape speed in the
the table below.

Typical Waveforms, Start/stop Time

Step 2:

Program the tape transport at a convenient rate. The counter
reads out the number of recorded ONE's passing the read head
during the 2.0 milliseconds start time. Because of the ratio
of frequency to tape speed of the test tape, each ONE passing
the read head represents 0.003 inches. Thus the count, multiplied by three, is the forward start distance expressed in
thousandths of an inch. This figure should be equal to or less
than the value shown in the table above. If this condition
is not met, check capstan roller gap. If the tape transport
still fails to meet start distance specifications, adjustment
of the buffer spring guide around its axis o~ the left vacuum
chamber may be required.

Step 3:

Reconnect the counter and pulse generator to the Reverse Start
command input. The counter now reads out the numbers of ONE's
passing the read head during the reverse start time. This
figure must also be equal to or less than the value shown in
the table above.

Step 4:

Reconnect the counter and pulse generator to the Forward Stop
command input (connection point identical to Step 1, but triggering on negative pulse). The pulse generator is used to
trigger the count gate of the counter for the 1.5 milliseconds
immediately following the Forward stop command. The count as
shown on the counter, multiplied by three, is the forward stop
distance expressed in thousandths of an inch. This

4-16. CHECKING ACTUATOR FIRING CIRCUITRY. Operation of the actuator
firing circuitry may be checked by programming the transport at the
maximum rate permissible within the actuator duty cycles.
(See Section
I, Description/Specifications.)
No actuator functions should be missed
within this program. Operation of the interlock circuitry may be
checked by inserting a conflicting command 2.5 milliseconds after

4-11

issuance of a tape drive command. If the transport is operating in
Forward Drive and a Reverse command is issued without an intervening
stop command, the reverse actuator should not close, and vice versa.
4-17. ALIGNING THE TAPE PACKERS~ Alignment of a tape packer arm
consists of adjusting the position of the packer arm shoe between the
flanges of the tape reel.
Step 1:

Operate the transport in either the F'orward Drive or Reverse
Drive mode and check if either packer arm shoe touches the
reel. If a packer arm shoe does touch the reel proceed with
Step 2.

step 2:

Check that the shoe is correctly fitted and tight on the arm.

Step 3:

Use an Allen wrench to loosen'the screw clamping the arm to
the shaft.

Step 4:

Move the arm on the shaft to a position where the arm and
shoe do not touch either flange of the reel~ taki.ng care not
to turn the arm on the'shaft.

StepS.:

Tighten the set screw.

4-18. ADJUSTING VACUUM SWITCH. The operation of the vacuum switches
which signal long-loop or short-loop conditions is checked as follows:
Step 1:

Connect a voltmeter across the terminals of ,the lower loop
warning switch (S707).

Step 2:

Apply power to the tape unit. ,Place unit in the standby
mode. Make sure all interlocks are closed. The tape loops
in the vacuum chamber should be at the normal 12-3/4 +1/2inch length, and the vacuum switch should be closed.

Step 3:

Observe the indication of the voltmeter. If a voltage is
present, the switch contacts are open as they would be in the
case of a long loop, short loop, or vacuum failure', and the
switch must be adjusted.
(See Step 9 and Figure 4-10.)

Step 4:

Press the lower REEL BRAKE pushbutton and elongate the tape
loop until it passes over the long loop sensing port. The
contacts of the loop warning switch should then be open. If
the closed contacts fail to open, adjustment is required. If
no adjustment is required, proceed to Step 11.

MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
5-1.

GENERAL ..

5-2. The tape transport consists of the transport assembly, electronics assembly, access door, voltage regulator, head assembly, and
head cable and box assembly. A control panel and photosense system
.may .also be included. Schematic arrangements of tape transports
showing the relationship of all connectors, terminal boards, and fanning strips used for interconnection are shown in Figure 5-1.
5-3.

TAPE TRANSPORT.

5-4. The transport assembly (Figure 5-2, 5-3) consists of a tape
supply and take-up system, a tape drive system, a vacuum system, a
blower system, and an. oscillator for excitation of the transducers.
The operation of each of these systems is controlled by circuits in
the electronics assembly. In this description the upper reel is referred to as the supply reel and the lower reel as the take-up reel.
5-5. The tape supply system consists of a supply reel drive assembly,
a vacuum chamber, a transducer which provides signals for servo control of the reel drive, and a loop warning switch which will interrupt
operation if the tape loop in the vacuum chamber becomes too large or
too small.
5-6. The supply reel drive assembly is composed of a servo motor, a
turntable, a reel retainer assembly, and a brake assembly. The servo
motor shaft extends to the front of the tape transport where the reel
turntable and retainer assembly are attached to the shaft.

5-7. The Ampex (NARTB) reel retainer assembly is a continuous contact
rubber doughnut type, cam actuated, which provides a positive indication of a locked or unlocked condition. Turning the reel retainer
handle 120 0 clockwise locks the reel in position; depressing the serrated end of the reel retainer handle unlocks the retainer, collapsing
the retainer tire, and permitting the removal of the reel.
II

II

5-8. The IBM compatible reel retainer is a compression actuated, continuous contact rubber "doughnut" type. Turning the retainer knob
clockwise compresses the retainer tire axially, causing radial expansion to lock the reel in position. Turning the knob counterclockwise allows the tire to restore, permitting removal of the reel.

5-9. The brake assembly is mounted at the front of the servo motor
and consists of a brake drum (mounted on the motor shaft), a brake
shoe, a solenoid, and a loading spring. The brake is released when
the solenoid is energized, as,in normal operating conditions, and
applied when the solenoid is de-energized (equipment in STANDBY, door
interlock open, leader clamp interlock open, or vacuum lost for any
reason). Brake application when the solenoid is de-energized is accomplished by a spring-loaded mechanism. The REEL BRAKE pushbutton
allows the mechanical brakes to be released under non-operating
conditions.
5-10. All other components of the tape supply system operate in conjunction with the vacuum system. The functioning of the entire servo
control system is dictated by the vacuum chamber, a precision subassembly which forms and contains the tape loop, and isolates the reel
from the tape drive system. A hinged glass cover encloses the vacuum
chamber and forms a vacuum seal. Both ends of the chamber are vented
to the vacuum blower assembly; tape acts as a barrier to separate the
vacuum (created by the blower) from atmospheric pressure. Tape
sensing slots are located in the upper and lower halves of the chamber
base plate. These slots have a common junction within the base plate,
and are connected through rubber tubing to the transducer.
5-11. The transducer is a diaphragm-operated differential transformer
with the diaphragm pneumatically connected to the sensing slots. The
core of the transformer is attached to the diaphragm and moves as the
diaphragm moves. Any movement of the core from its null position
produces an error signal, which is routed to the servo control electronic circuit. This circuit, in turn, causes the reel drive motor
to increase or decrease the supply of tape in the chamber to eliminate
the error signal.
5-12. The loop warning switch also operates on the diaphragm principle, being closed whenever a difference in air pressure exists
(vacuum to atmospheric pressure), but opening when no difference
exists (either vacuum-to-vacuum or atmosphere-to-atmosphere). Two
holes are provided in the vacuum chamber, one opposite the opening
where the tape enters and leaves the chamber, one near the end of the
chamber (lower end for supply, upper end for take-up). The inside of
the diaphragm is connected to the hole opposite the tape entrance
opening; the outside is connected to the hole at the end of the
chamber.
5-13. The tape supply system also includes the write lockout switch
which may be used to prevent accidental writing over recorded information. This switch is actuated by a write lockout ring, attached to

5-5

the hub of the file reel. Normally open contacts are provided and are
typically used to permit writing when closed (by completing power circuitry to write amplifiers, etc.).
5-14. The tape drive system consists of a precision plate, on which
are mounted the·two capstans.and their associated actuators, the head
assembly, the leader clamp, two tape sensing posts, and two tape
packer arms. Also attached to the precision plate, but not considered
part of the tape drive system, are the two vacuum chambers. The purpose of the tape drive system is to remove tape ·from one reservoir
(typically the tape supply system), move it at a nominally constant
drive speed across the magnetic heads which record or reproduce information, and deposit it in another reservoir (typically the take-up
system). The tape drive system also ·controls the FAST REVERSE and
FAST FORWARD modes of tape travel.
5-15. Two counter-rotating capstans provide bi-dir,ectional tape drive.
The capstans are coupled through a belt and pulleys to the synchronous
capstan drive motor. This is a dual-speed motor (1800 rpm or 3600 rpm
at 60 cycles, 1500 rpm or 3000 rpm 'at 50 cycles) for both the normal
and the fast drive speeds. The motor and both capstans operate continuously whenever power is applied to the equipment. Relay contacts
select the applicable motor winding for the tape drive selected: The
low-speed winding for normal operation, or the high-speed winding for
the fast drives. Each capstan continuously drives its associated roller through a rubber quad-ring (at the b~se of the capstan)~ thus the
rollers also are continuously rotating when power is applied.
5-16. While the speed of tape travel is determined by the capstans,
the movement of the tape is controlled by the actuators which position
the rollers. Two actuators are provided, one for each capstan. These
assemblies are mounted on the back of the precision plate, with the
actuator shaft extending through the plate to the front of the tape
transport. On this shaft is mounted a rocker arm, with the roller
mounted at one end, and a tape inertia brake at the other end. There
are two stable positions possible for the actuator: ON, when the roller clamps the tape against the capstan to drive the tape, 'and OFF,
when the roller is withdrawn from the capstan~ At the moment of withdrawal, the brake overshoots momentarily, locking the tape between a
rubber block and a metal post, quickly overcoming the small inertia of
the moving tape.
5-17. A special d-c actuator drives the capstan roller assembly. The
actuator is controlled by a driver circuit, in the transport electronics
assembly, which in turn derives its signals from the command source.

~-6

The direction of tape motion is determined by which actuator is ON,
since the two capstans rotate in opposite directions.
5-18. A typical head assembly (Figure 5-4) is composed of two tape
guides, a write head stack, a read head stack, a hinged shield, base
plate, and head cover. Accuracy of tape guiding across the heads is
ensured by the precise machining of the base and tape guides, which
are mounted at either side o f the head stacks. The g uide edges are
accurately positioned to ensure interchangeability of tapes from
machine to machine. The exact head assembly u sed on indiv idual
machines is shown in section IX.
5-19. The leader clamp provides a convenient mean s o f ho lding the
permanent tape leader while attaching the leade r to the magnetic tape.
If the clamp inadvertently is left closed again s t the upper sensing
post, the leader clamp interlock will remain ope n a n d preve nt tape
mo ti o n.
5-20. The two tape sensing posts, located at the top and bottom of
the precision plate, provide tape sensing fac ilities to s i g nal end o f
file, beginning o f file, etc. These posts, in the tape threading path
between each reel and vacuum chamber, consist of thre e i n s u lated
sections. The innermost section is connected t o chassis g r ound; if
contact is made between that section and the ce nter se ction (by the
use of metal-backed tape) a remote warning c i rc uit may b e actuated.
When an end- o f-tape relay is used contact acro ss a ll three sections
will ener g ize the relay and stop
the tape.
5-21. The tape tak e-up system is
identical t o the tape supply system previously described, except
that no write lockout switch is
provided on the l ower reel assembly.
5-22. The v acuum f or the v acuum
chambers is derived from the vacuum blower assembly. The blower
proper is a two-stage centrifugal
fan, driven by a universal-wound
a-c motor, shock-mo unted into the
main vacuum blower assembly. The
motor is supplied with regulated
power from the e x ternally mounted
voltage regulator. A bleeder port

is partially covered by a sliding flap, permitting adjustment of vacuum pressure; this port is on the transport side of the manifold. The
vacuum manifold is formed from plastic butyrate tubing and couplings.
The manifold is bonded and sealed. The air expelled from the vacuum
blower is filtered to prevent dispersal of dust, etc., in the cabinet
rack.
5-23. The positive pressure blower assembly is mounted at the lower
right-hand side of the main tape transport frame (as viewed from the
rear). Air pressure introduced by this assemb.ly ensures that air is
always leaking from the tape handling enclosure when the access door
is closed. This slight pressurization of the tape handling enclosure
keeps out external dust and foreign material. Intake air at the blower
is filtered to ensure that it is clean and dust-free.
5-24. The servo oscillator is not part of the transport proper, being
more closely associated with the transport electronics assembly. It
is, however, physically located on the lower left side of the transport,
as viewed from the rear.
-5-25. The servo oscillator is constructed on an etched circuit board,
with contacts provided at one end to form a connector. The mating
connector, J701, is part of the transport wiring, as are the gain adjustment potentiometers R701 and R702. These components are mounted
to the transport, shielded by a metal housing. A pair of slides on
the inner walls of the housing accept the etched board and align it
with J701.
5-26. A removable cover plate is provided, secured with snap-action
fasteners, to permit insertion or withdrawal of the etched board.
The shafts of potentiometers R701 and R702 protrude' through holes
prov~ded in the housing to facilitate adjustment.
5-27.

ch~ssis (CC-300), the actuator control (AC-400), and the servo amplifier (SA-500).
5-29. Etched board construction and terminal board wiring are used.
The two main chassis, the Electronics Power Supply (PS-IOO) and the
Servo Motor Power supply (PS.-200) are attached to mounting brackets •.
The various sub-assemblies, all readily removable, are mounted on top
of the Electronics Power Supply (PS-IOO) chassis.

5-30. The electronics power supply sub-assembly furnishes the necessary d-c and a-c voltages for operation of the servo amplif~er and
the actuator control unit.
It also serves as the support chassis for
these two units, and for the connector chassis.
5-31. The connector chassis is mounted at one end of the main chassisi the balance of the top surface is covered by a panel, hinged to
provide ready access to the internal wiring. Mounted on this hinged
panel are slides which accept the etched boards of the servo amplifier
and actuator control unit, brackets for mating connectors for these
units, and lever-operated release mechanisms to facilitate "withdrawal
of the boards.
5-32. When the tape transport is turned on, 117 vac is supplied to
the primaries of power transformers TI02, located beneath the connector chassis, and TIOl, located beneath the hinged panel at the opposite end of the ps-IOO electronics power supply. An additional tap
on the ·primary of TI02 furnishes 135 vac to the capstan drive motor.
The various secondaries of TI02 furnish 6.3 vac for the filaments of
the thyratrons in the actuator control unit and the tubes in the
transducer oscillator. A 52 vac center-tapped winding feeds rectifiers, in the manual control panel, which supply the -24 vdc voltages
to the control circuitry. Fuses f or this circuit are located beneath
the hinged cover. The high-voltage winding furnishes 450 vac to a

of an overload relay (KlOl). This relay is set to operate on an overload of approximately 400 rna, and breaks the overload through its own
contacts, causing the relay to drop out and re-cycle rapidly.
(The
output of the rectifier also furnishes, through a dropping resistor,
+14 vdc to the actuator control circuitry.) From the overload relay,
the high voltage is supplied to a thyratron (Vl04) and associated components located beneath the connector chassis which are used a "recharge electronics switch" for charging the ac~uator capacitors. The
filament of the thyratron is supplied 2.5 vac from transformer TI02.
5-33. Ground lug 101 is mounted on the PS-IOO electronics power supply to provide a common grounding point for all circuits in the tape
transport. A cable, part of the CC-300 connector chassis, brings
ground leads for all circuits from the connector chassis to ground
lug 101. Fanning strip FSIOl, also part of the CC-300 wiring~ c6nnects with terminal board TBIOI on the electronics power supply. Separate individual leads are also provided for c,onnection to TB192. Additional portions of the CC-300 CQnnector chassis wiring are brought
out of the CC-300 to provide connectors J401 and J501 (mating connectors for the AC-400 and SA-500 etched boards), which are physically
supported on the PS-IOO chassis. Another branch of the cabling provides leads for connection to TB201 and TB202 on the servo motor power
supply.
5-34. The PS-200 servo motor power supply' is a thyrat~on power supply,
used to furnish power to the windings of the servo motors as dictated
by the servo amplifier and the transducers. The eight thyratrons,
V20l through V208, are mounted in a line along one side of the chassis.
In a row paralleling the thyratrons are transformers T205, T206, and
T207. Transformer T205, mounted in the center, provides f{lament voltage for all of the thyratrons. plate transformers T206 and T207'are
supplied with 117 vac, delayed 45 seconds to,permit filament warm-up.
Below the chassis are terminal boards TB201 and 'TB202 and an etched
circuit board assembly which contains grid biasing transformers Tl
through T4 and their associated components.

P30l, part of the transport wiring. J302 is the power input connector; J303 is the local control connector. When a manual control
panel is used, P303, part of its wiring, will mate with J303. When
no manual control panel is used, equivalent circuitry must be connected through J303. Receptacle J304, the REMOTE connector, provides a
means of connection to external circuitry for automatic or remote controlled operation; receptacle J305 is used for connection of remote
circuitry associated with the write control function.
5-37. The AC-400 actuator control is constructed entirely on an
etched circuit board. This board is supported within slides mounted
on the PS-IOO electronics power supply, and mates with connector J40l.
5-38. The SA-500 servo amplifier, like the AC-400 actuator control,

ELECTRICAL DPERATIDN
6-1.

BASIS OF DISCUSSION.

6-2. The principles of operation of the tape transport are readily
divided into two main categories: control of tape motion and control
of the servo mechanisms which control the length of loop in the tape
storage chambers.
6-3. The explanation of circuit operation will be more clearly understood by referring to the circuit diagrams appearing in Section VIII of
this instruction book.
6-4.

ACTUATOR CONTROL.

6-5. The first principle to be understood with respect to the actuator is that the speed of tape motion is determined solely by the capstans. The capstan speed, in turn, is controlled by the synchronous
drive motor which receives its motive force from the a-c line. The
direction of tape motion is controlled by the capstan rollers, each of
which engages the tape with one of the two counter-rotating capstans.
6-6. Two identical actuators for control of tape movement in the forward and reverse directions are mounted on the rear of the precision
plate of the tape transport. Shafts extend to the front of the precision plate, with yokes clamped to these shafts to support the rollers
and inertia brakes.

6-i. Each actuator is similar in design to a polarized relay. Two·
permanent magnets are used to establish the two stable conditions-ON, when the roller clamps the tape against the rotating capstan, and
OFF, when the roller is pulled away from the tape and the capstan.
6-8. The actuator shaft, mounted between the two permanent magnets,
has a flat reed brazed to it which serves as an armature. Flux linkage between the two magnets through this reed tends to hold it in· its
last set position until the opposite coil, form-wound to fit around
the reed structure, is pulsed with a short burst of current to form an
electromagnet. The two coils create opposing magnetic fields. Thus,
one of them is always available to reverse the flux in the reed and
cause the reed to flip to the other stable position. The total rotation of the reed as measured at the pole faces is only a few thousandths
of an inch. The time required to shift from one position to the other
is on the order of 800 microseconds.

6-1

6-9. The forward·and reverse actuator circuits are identical; only
the forward actuator circuit is described.
6-10. A simplified diagram of the forward actuator circuit is shown
in Figure 6-1 where the common connection of the actuator ON and OFF'
coils is connected to a positive voltage source (C106). The other connection of each coil is taken to the anode of a thyratron, the cathode
of the thyratron being returned to ground. A negative voltage source
(C405) connected via the center tap of the sec~ndary of grid input
transformer T408 to the thyratron grids holds the thyratrons off.
6-11. An actuator coil is energized by firing the thyratron connected
to it. Both manual and automatic inputs are used to fire the thyratrons. When the manual Forward start terminal (P303, pin 40) is
grounded, capacitor C409 charges, dropping the bias voltage to V404
grid across R415, and allows V404 to fire. C106 now discharges
through the actuator ON coil and V404 to switch the actuator to the
ON condition. Similarly, grounding the manu~l stop terminal fires
thyratron V403 to switch the actuator to the OFF condition.
6-12. The automatic Forward input terminal (P303, pin 34) is connected
via C408 and R413 to the primary of transformer T408. A positive-going
change of voltage applied to this terminal charges C408, allows a short
burst of current to flow in the transformer primary which in turn induces a voltage in the secondary to overcqme the bias voltage on the

grid of V404 and allows it to fire. CI06 now discharges th~ough the
actuator ON coil and switches the actuator to the ON condition. A
negative-going voltage change at the automatic input terminal induces
a voltage in the opposite direction in T40B, allows V403 to fire and
switches the actuator off.
6-13. A thyratron cannot be turned off by a voltage applied to its
grid; the anode-cathode voltage must be removed or reversed before the
grid can regain control. This is accomplished by the discharge of
CI06. When an' actuator thyratron is fired, current flows from CI06
(and continues to flow after the grid bias voltage has been restored)
through the actuator coil and thyratron until CI06 is discharged. The
actuator coil now becomes a voltage source, due to the decaying magnetic field in the coil, and applies a reverse voltage to the anode
which cuts off the thyratron and allows the grid to regain control.
6-14. The charging current to CI06 is taken from a bridge rectifier
power supply. When the system is first switched on, CI06 charges
slowly via RIOS. By the time the filament of VI04 reaches operating
temperature, CI06 is fully charged, no voltage difference exists between the anode and cathode of VI04 and it remains cut off. When CI06
is completely discharged by an actuator operation VI04 bypasses RIOS
to provide a fast charging circuit, ensuring a fully charged Cl06 when
it is needed. When CI06 discharges, the cathode voltage of VI04 is
reduced beyond the point where firing becomes possible. VI04, however,
does not fire immediately but is delayed to allow CI06 to discharge
fully and allow the actuator thyratron to be cut off as described in
6-13 above. 'This delay is performed by a resistor and capacitor in the
grid circuit (RI06 and CIOS). As long as CI06 is discharging, CIOS will
also be discharging through RI06 and, due to the voltage drop across
RI06, will bias the grid negative with respect to the cathode and prevent firing. When a steady state is reached, the negative charge on
VI04grid leaks away through RI06 and VI04 fires, charging CI06 through
a choke (LIOl). After .CI06 is charged to the supply voltage, a voltage
induced by the decaying field around LIOI drives the cathode of VI04
positive with respect to its anode and grid and allows it to cut off.
The circuit is now ready for the next actuator operation.
6-15. The identical reverse actuator circuit is driven from the same
power supply as the forward actuator circuit (figure B-3). Because
the vl04 capacitor charging circuit is common to both forward and
reverse actuator circuits, isolation must be provided to prevent Cl06
discharging when the reverse actuator is operated and CI07 discharging
when the forward actuator is operated. Diodes CRI07-110 provide this
isolation. In the event that both CI06 and Cl07 are discharged together (this can occur when a safety interlock switches both actuators

6-3

OFF) VI04 will continue to supply charging current until both capacitors are charged before cutting off.
6-16. Figure 6-2a shows the voltage waveform seen at the anode of an
actuator thyratron (V40l, V402, V403, or V404) during operation. A":t
the start of the trace the thyratron is fired by the removal of the
negative bias from its grid; the anode voltage drops from 600 to approximately 10 volts, the voltage drop across the thyratron and its
cathode resistor during conduction. At approximately BOO microseconds
after firing Cl06 is completely discharged and the anode voltage begins to go negative, cutting off the thyratron. The voltage then
rises rapidly as Vl04 fires and charges Cl06 (or Cl07) •
6-17. The thyratron anode voltage waveform is seen again in the
lower trace of Figure 6-2b. Shown for comparison in the upper trace
is the voltage across Cl06 or Cl07. The discharge and charge current·
in Cl06 or Cl07 is shown in Figure 6-3. This current waveform is displayed by connecting the oscilloscope across a 0.1 ohm resistor inserted'in series with the capacitor.
(The slight discontinuity at
200-250 microseconds is caused by the change in the actuator coil inductance as the armature moves to its new position.)
6-lB. When taking measurements during actuator operation shunt loading of the actuator coils should be avoided. Excessive loading will
damp the coil and reduce the negative voltage available to cut off
the thyratron.

6-19. Figure 6-4 shows the waveforms seen at the cathode a~d grid of
Vl04 during an operating cycle. At the start of the trace an actuator
thyratron has fired and Cl06 or Cl07 starts to discharge. The cathode
voltage (upper trace) follows the capacitor discharge curve while the
grid voltage (lower curve) follows the discharge curve only until a
steady state is reached. At this point (600 microseconds) the charge
on the grid capacitor leaks off through the grid resistor until at
about 1200 microseconds the grid voltage is sufficient to allow the
thyratron to fire.
The cathode and grid voltages now increase to the
supply voltage followed by further increase in grid voltage due to the
grid capacitor. The grid then restores to the same voltage as the
cathode as the grid charge leaks away through the grid resistor.
6-20. An overloa'd relay (KIOI Figure 8-3) . is included in the power
supply circuit to prevent damage to the bridge rectifier if severe
overload occurs in the 600 vdc circuit. The overload relay coil is
by-passed with a variable resistor RIIO that is used to set the overload cut-out point. The rectified AC from the bridge rectifier is
used to charge two large capacitors (CI03 and CI04). The charging
current to CI06 and CI07 is taken from these capacitors and there is
no excessive power supply load during the charging cycle.
6-21. Because of the time required for an actuator to complete one
cycle, it is mandatory that the spacing of commands to the actuator be
no closer than 2.5 milliseconds, regardless of the command. If for

terminals are connected to terminals 34 and 35 of J303. The input
common lead is connected to terminal 8, of the etched board assembly;
this common lead may be grounded if desired, but it must serve as the
return for the automatic input signals. start and 'stop command's must
be generated by a dc voltage level change. The actuator will function
on an 8 volt (+12, -0) level change~ such as -10 to 0 vdc or 0 to +10
vdc for the start command, maintained at the particular voltage for the
duration of the run time. Returning the command level to the original
level constitutes a stop command. The level of these commands should
not exceed 25 vdc. The rise time of tbis step function de signal
should be no greater than 10 ~icroseconds. The top pattern of Figure
6-5 indicates such an input Signal.

stepped up and applied to the grids of V403 and V404.
(See Figure
6-6.) An ON signal causes a positive spike to appear at the primary
of T408i a positive spike will then appear at the grid of V404, causing V404 to conduct and shift the actuato~ ON. At the same time, a
neg"ative spike is applied to the grid of V403, adding to the already
present fixed dc bias so that V403 does not conduct. If the input
command is OFF (signal shifting from zero volts to -10 volts), a positive signal will be applied to the grid of V403 and a negative signal
applied to the grid of V404.
6-24. Four external manual control connections are provided at terminals 12, 4, 6 and 10 of the etched board AC-400, corresponding to
terminals 44, 41, 40 and 42 of J303. Application of a ground or a
positiv.e dc level change to these terminals will cause the indicated
actuator operation to occur. For example, suppose it is desired to
shift the forward actuator to ON. Applying a ground to terminal 6 of
the etched board by means of an external relay or switch will cause a
positive spike to appear at the grid of V404. The spike is created
by the charging of .002 mfd capacitor C409 through the grid circuit of
V404. When the ground is subsequently removed from terminal 6, C409
discharges via shunt resistor R417i the circuit thus is ready for the
next similar command. As the ground is applied to terminal 4, a positive spike appears at the grid of V403 and the forward actuator shifts
to OFF. Shunt ca~acitor C406B bypasses any transient impulses
picked up via the external wiring.

Forward Actuator Control (Partial Schematic)

The interlock circuit will prevent simultaneous ON conditions caused
by the second and third conditions, but not the first or fourth.
6-27. The forward and reverse interlock circuits are identical; only
the forward interlock is described.
6-28. The forward interlock circuit is shown in.Figure 6-7. The circuit consists of a flip-flop with emitter-follower input, an AND gate,
and an OR gate. The flip-flop is set when the reverse actuator is
pulsed on and will then prevent the forward actuator ON thyratron from
firing. The flip-flop is reset when the reverse actuator OFF thyratron fires and will then permit the forward ON thyratron to fire when
a command is made.
6-29. The flip-flop consists of two transistors, Q404 and Q406,
emitter, coupled with a common emitter resistor to provide regeneration.
The circuit is unbalanced to ensure that when the syste~ is first
switched on, Q404 will be conducting and Q406 will be held off; the
reset state.
6-30. In the reset state Q404 is conducting due to the base current
from the positive 12 volt supply via R440 and R438. The collector

current is dropped across R441, preventing any base current flowing in
Q406. ,The emitters of both transistors are tied together and, due to
the current in Q404, dropped 'across the emitter resistor, R437, are
held at 1 volt positive with respect to the negative 12 volt supply.v
The base of Q406 is held close to this supply by R436 and is biased
off. The emitter follower input stage (Q405) is biased off, the base
~s held to the negative 12 volt supply while the emitter is a fraction
of a volt positive to this supply, being tied to the base of Q406.
6-31. The ,flip-flop is set by applying a positive-going pulse to
either input of the OR gate (CR4l1 or CR4l2). The input pulse applied to CR4l1 is from the reverse automatic' input to the actuator
control while the input pulse applied to CR4l2 is generated across
the cathode resistor of V402 when that thyratron fires. Regardless
of which input is used the result is that capacitor C417 charges'via
R434 and the base circuit of transistor Q405 in parallel. With current flowing in the base circuit Q405 switches on and causes base
current to flow in Q406 which in turn switches on. As the cO'llector
current is dropped across R437 and R440, the 0404 base current is reduced and the emitter voltage increased. Transistor Q404 switches
off, its collector voltage increases and base current to 0406 is supplied from the positive 12 volt supply via R441 and R439 to hold 0406
on. As this switching action is regenerative (Q406 switching on in
turn switches Q404 off which in turn switches 0406 on), the circuit
is quite sensitive to input pulses.
6-32. When the flip-flop is set the AND gate consisting of diodes
CR409 and CR410 is inhibited and thyratron V404 cannot fire. In the
set condition the junction of R440, CR409, and Q406 collector is held
close to the 12 volt negative supply, the grid of V404 remains at this
voltage regardless of the condition of the grid input applied via
CR410.
6-33. The flip-flop is reset when thyratron V401 fires. The thyratron cathode 'current causes a positive-going voltage change across the
cathode resistor which in turn charges C416 via the base circuit of
Q4'04. Q404 starts to turn on and 0406 off. The circui t is regenerative as described in paragraph 6-31.
6-34. When the flip-flop is reset the AND gate controlling the firing
of V404 is enabled (the negative voltage is removed from CR409 cathode)
and V404 can be fired.
6-35. The operation in manual and automatic modes is similar except
that the flip-flop is set by the firing of the reverse ON thyratron
in the manual mode and by the automatic reverse ON pulse in the automatic mode.
6-10

6-36. Two power supplies are used for the interlock circuit. The -12

SERVO SYSTEM.

6-38. Two identical servo systems are used to drive the ~ape supply
and take-up reels. The tape drive system takes the tape from the
supply vacuum chamber, drives it over the head assembly, and feeds it
into the take-up vacuum chamber. The servo system supplies tape to
and removes tape from the vacuum chambers to maintain a constant length
of tape in each vacuum chamber. The vacuum keeps the tape at the correct tension to prevent buckling or folding and allows the tape length
in each chamber to be sensed by the servo system.
6-39. The loop of tape in a vacuum chamber divides the chamber into
three areas, the center area is open to the atmosph~re while the upper
and lower areas are open to the vacuum system. Slots in the back plate
of the vacuum chambers are connected by tubing to the servo transducers
which are able to detect variations in air pressure. The air pressure
seen by the transducer is proportional to the length of slot in each
of the pressure areas in the vacuum chamber. As the length of tape
loop changes the length of the senSing slot in each pressure area
changes and the sum of the pressures as seen by the transducer changes.
Increases iq tape loop size cause the area exposed to the atmqsphere
to increase and the area exposed to the vacuum to decrease. The result is an increase in the pressure seen by the transducer and an
output from the transducer Signalling ,the servo system that tape must
be removed from the vacuum chamber. 'Decreases in tape loop size decrease the area exposed to the atmosphere and increase the area exposed to the vacuum, thus causing a decrease in transducer pressure
and a Signal to the servo system to supply tape to the chamber. When
the correct tape loop size is reached the pressure areas ,are such that
the transducer gives no output to the servo system and the tape reels
are stopped.
6-40. Figure 6-8 shows a block diagram of the servo systems. Each
system includes a obi-directional series-wound d-c motor, a thyratron
speed control circuit for each motor winding (forward and reverse) , .a
three-stage vacuum tube amplifier circuit for each speed control circuit, and a demodulator circuit. Input to the system is provided from
an oscillator via two transducers operated by the vacuum system.
6-41. The servo amplifier (SA-SOO) and the servo power supply (PS~200)
form the intermediate link petween the tape position error signals and

6-11

the rotation of the servo motors. It should be noted that the only
moving mechanical parts of the servo system are the transducer diaphragm arid core, the servo motors, the reels, and the tape itself.

6-42.

The following discussion will be limited to the upper servo
system (associated with supply reel and left vacuum chamber). Details
of the lower servo system (take-up reel and. right vacuum chamber) are
identical. Note that the two servos are independent and that servo
action in one vacuum chamber has no effect on the other. It is possible therefore, under certain progranuningsequ~nces, for one reel to
be rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise for very short
periods.

6-43.

The transducer is an adjustable pnematic, diaphragm-op.era,ted
linear variable differential transformer. Air pressure from the sensing slots in the vacuum chamber is connected by tubing to one side of
a sensing diaphragm, which expands and contracts linearly with changes
in va.cuum within the plenum.behind the senSing slot. The core of the
transformer is rigidly attached .tothe diaphr~gm, so that movement of
the diaphragm displaces· the core with respect to the cylindrically
wound primary and secondary windings.

6-44. The primary of the transformer is excited at nominally 2000
cps by the oscillator (OSC-700), the output amplitude of the oscillator
being varied to adjust servo gain. When the core is positioned equidistant between the primary and the two secondaries, the output from
the phase-opposed secondaries are equal. When the diaphragm moves
the core away from the center position, unequal voltages are induced
in the two secondaries.
6-45. When properly adjusted, the transducer produces a null with the
ends of the tape loop approximately 14 inches apart in the vacuum chamber. Changes in length of the tape loops in either the long or short
loop directions will cause a corresponding output voltage change as
measured across the transformer secondaries.
6-46. These changes in secondary output voltage serve as the speed
and direction sense for servo motor control. Overall sensing is such
that the servo motors always try to rotate the tape reel in the direction that will return the tape loop length to the transducer null condition.
6-47. The oscillator assembly, mounted on the rear of the tape transport, is a three-stage unit, composed of oscillator, buffer stage, and
push-pull power output stage. A block diagram is shown in Figure 6-9.
6-48. The B+ and filament power for operation of the oscillator is obtained from the PS-100 power supply.
6-49. Signals developed across the plate load of the oscillator are
attenuated and shifted in phase by the RC networks composed of C2-R4,
C3-R5, and C4-R6.
(See Figure 8-6.) At the 2000 cps frequency of
the oscillator, each of the frequency selective networks shifts the
signal in phase by 60 0 , so that the signal appearing at the grid of
oscillator tube ViA is 180 0 out of phase with the signal at the plate,
thus supporting and sustaining oscillation.
6-50. The oscillator signal is applied to V1B, which functions principally as a buffer to prevent any load changes at the output from
interacting with the oscillator.
6-51. The push-pull power output stage consists of the two halves of
V2 in a conventional circuit, driving output transformer Tl, which in
turn feeds the primaries of the transducers. Potentiometers, between
the secondaries of this transformer and the primaries of the transducers are used to set servo system gain. Typical oscillator output
is shown in Figure 6-10.

6-13

6-52. The servo amplifier board consists of two demodulators and two
d-c amplifiers., Only the demodulator and d-c amplifier relating to
the upper servo will be discussed here.
6-53. The input to the servo amplifier board is the signal developed
in the secondaries of the transducer differential transformers. The
outputs of the servo amplifier board (Figure 8-7) are dc levels vary~
ing with the length, and rate of change of length, of tape in the
vacuum chamber.
6-54. The ac output from the transducer is rectified and applied to
the grids of Vl (Figure 6-11). The common terminal of the transducer
secondaries is connected to the amplifier ground while the other terminals of the secondaries are each connected'to a diode rectifier circuit where the dc voltages are developed across capacitors C10 and C13.
The positive component of one transducer output is summed with the negative component of the other output across a pair of resistors and the
resulting voltage applied to one grid of Vl. The other positive and
negative components are summed and applied to the other grid of Vl.
When the transducer is in the null condition with both outputs equal,
the negative component from one output exactly cancels the positive
component from the other output and no error voltage is a~plied to the
grids of Vl. When the transducer is not in the null condition one output is greater than the other, one positive component will be greater
than its oppos ing nega ti ve component and a pos'i ti ve vol tage will be applied to that grid of Vl, while the other positive component will be
less than its opposing negative component and a negative voltage will

be applied to that grid of Vl. The result is a differential input to
Vl, the first stage of a d-c amplifier.
6-SS. The demodulated signal applied to the grids of Vl is used to
control the reel servo motor. The polarity of the voltage excursions
applied to Vl is dependent on whether. the tape loop is too large or
too small and is used to control the direction of reel motor rotation
needed to restore the correct loop size. The amplitude of the voltage
excursions is dependent upon the amount of variation from the correct
loop size and is used to' control the reel motor speed.
6-56. The demodulated signal is amplified, in a three-stage, differential d-c amplifier, frequency sensitive with negative feedback. Each
stage of amplification uses an unbypassed cathode resistor that is
common to the two triodes to ensure a balanced signal throughout the
amplifier and minimize the effect of tube variations. The feed-back
loop uses a filter network (C14-C17 and associated resis,tors) to bypass the high frequency component· of the feedback signal. The result
of this lead compensation is much greater amplification at higher frequencies, to provide rapid response to changes in loop size, and increased servo stability.

6-57. The Servo Motor Power Supply (PS-200) provides power for the
reel motors. Each reel motor has two windings, one for clockwise rotation and one for counterclockwise rotation. A simplified power supply circuit 'for a single motor winding is shown in Figure 6~-12 where
the motor winding is powered by the secondary of transformer Tl in
series with a thyratron. The thyratron grid voltage is supplied from
the secondary of'transformer T2 in series with the control voltage.
The voltage seen by the thyratron grid is the sum of the alternating
voltage produced by T2 and the control voltage with a 90 0 phase shift,
and is shown in Figure 6-12. As the thyratron is fired by the grid
voltage and turned OFF by the anode voltage, the ON time is seen as
the result of the alternating supply superimposed on the cohtrol voltage; the ac remains constant so the ON time' becomes a function of the
control voltage only.
6-58. In the actual power supply circuit (Figure 8-9) two thyrat:rons'
are used in a full wave rectifier circuit for each motor winding rather
than the half-wave configuration shown in the simplified circuit. Because both negative and positive half cycles' of the supply are used
the motor ON time is d~ubled. The phase shifting networks in the grid
transformer circuits permit smooth control throughout the 'entire anodfl
voltage half cycle and provide ON periods in the a to 180 degree range

so that the motor current becomes a linear function of the control
voltage.
6-59. The outputs of the servo amplifier are used as the control voltages for the servo motor power supply. The polarity of the output
from each amplifier determines which pair of thyratrons will fire and
thus determines the dire'ction of motor rotation. The amplitude of the
. control voltage determines the firing angle of the thyratrons and thus
determines' the speed of the motor. Motor direction and speed are
therefore a direct function of the size of the tape loop in the vacuum
chamber and, when the correct size of the loop is obtained, the thyratrons are held off and the motor is stopped.
6-60.

MANUAL CONTROL PANEL.

6-61. The manual control panel offers facilities for power control,
selection of command source (manual or automatic), selection of tape
motion under manual control, and a manual write/leader drive control.
The control functions are so arranged that in the MANUAL mode it is
impossible to present simultaneous ON signals to the two actuators.
6-62. The panel consists of four switches.for control of the above
functions, two time delay relays, four conventional relays, four rectifiers, and two control indicators (POWER ON and READY) •
6-63. The power source is connected to pins 47 and 4E of P303 through
the circuit breakers CB301 and CB302 on the connecting chassis (CC-300)
of the transport electronics assembly. When 8806 on the manual control panel is placed in the ON position, power is connected across
thermal delay relay K805 through normally-closed contact set K806C of
time delay interlock relay K806. Power is also routed through pin 50
of P303 and circuit breaker CB303 to the cooling fan, the positive
pressure blower, and the primary of voltage regulator transformer T701.
A connection from pin 50 of P303also routes power through fuse F301
to power transformer T102 in the electronics power supply. If the
circuit breakers are all in the ON position, the capstan drive motor
will start capstan rotation, the vacuum blower motor and the cabinet
cooling fan motors will start as switch 8806 is closed. After a 45second time delay, relay K805 operates. Its contact set couples 24
vdc (rectified by CR805 and CR806 from 52 vac supplied from electronics power supply P8-100) across the coil of time delay interlock
relay K806. Contact set K806A provides a holding circuit for the
relay, paralleling the contact set of K805.' Contact set K806B connects -24 vdc to the external series circuit consisting of the leader
clamp switch, interlock switch, door interlock switch, and loop

6-17

warning switches. This circuit re-enters the manual control panel at
pin 13 of P303. Contact set KB06C breaks the power connection to
time delay relay KBOS which eventually cools and reopens its contacts.
The -24 vdc is also used to illuminate POWER indicator DSB02.
6-64. The MODE SELECTOR switch, S80l, has four decks, each deck a
three-pole, three-position switch. When the MODE SELECTOR switch is
placed in the AUTOMATIC position, -24 vdc from the interlock circuit
is connected through contacts 1 and 2 of deck III and diode CRB07 to
the coil of relay KB04 energizing the relay. Contact sets KB04A and
KB04B are paralleled to connect 117 vac to terminal 39 of P303, from
whence the power is routed to anode transformers T206 and T207 in the
servo motor power supply (PS-200). An additional -24 vdc output, rectified by diodes CRB03 and CRB04 from a S2-vac source in the electronics power supply PS-lOO, supplies power to the brake solenoids through
contact sets KB04C and KB04D to release the brakes on the servomotors.
6-6S. If the LOOP WARNING switches are in their normally closed position, -24 vdc is also connected across the coil of interlock relay
K802through contacts 5 and 6 on deck IV of SBOI and the relay is energized. Contact sets K802E and K802F are concerned soleiy with
AUTOMATIC mode operation; in their energized position they complete
the circuit from tpe automatic forward and reverse signal inputs to
the applicable circuits in the actuator control unit (AC-400).
6-66. Contacts 1 and 2 of deck IV and contacts 9 and 10 on deck III
of S80l connect the tape sensing circuits to terminals 6 and 10 on
P303, where the voltage may be used for a remote AUTOMATIC READY indicator. Contacts 5 and 6 and 1 and 2 on deck I, when relay contacts
KB02F and KB02E are closed, connect the automatic forward and reverse
commands from the remote control source to the actuator control circuits in the transport.
6-67. Should the programming sequence cause a long loop or short loop
to be formed in either vacuum chamber while the transport is in the
AUTOMATIC mode, the -24 vdc will be removed from pin 13 of P303 (by
virtue of the long loop/short loop switch opening). This, in turn,
will cause K802 to de-energize until such time as the servo system
recovers. There is a time delay of 20 milliseconds (supplied by
R80S-C80l) to permit recovery of loop position. I~ de-energizing,
K802E and K802F open the automatic input circuits; KB02C and K802D
apply +14 vdc to both actuator OFF circuits, supplying OFF current
pulses to both actuators and causing whichever actuator is ON at that
moment to switch to the OFF position. KB02 will be re-energized as

6-lB

soon as the long loop or short loop condition is removed by servo
tion, permitting programming to continue.

ac-

6-6S. If the basic interlock circuit is broken while the transport is
in the AUTOMATIC mode (as by power failure, door opening, vacuum failure, etc.), KS02 and KS04 will de-energize. These relays cannot be reenergized until the basic interlock is again completed.
6-69. When the MODE SELECTOR switch is placed in the MANUAL position,
power relay KS04 is energized through isolation diode CRS07 and contacts 1 and 4 on deck III.
(The interlock circuit must be completed
in order that the power relay may be energized.)
The contact sets of
relay KS04 perform the same functions as described above under AUTOMATIC operation.
6-70. Interlock relay KS02 is energized if the short loop/long loop
switches are in their normally closed positions. The energizing circuit extends from terminal 13 on P303 through contacts 5 and S on deck
IV, the normally-closed contact set K803A, the MANUAL CONTROL switch
(in its STOP position)! to the relay coil. In its energized position,
relay set KS02A forms a holding circuit which bypasses the MANUAL
CONTROL switch, permitting this switch to be turned from its STOP
position.
6-71. Note that if the MODE SELECTOR switch is placed in the MANUAL
position and the MANUAL CONTROL switch in any position other than STOP,
relay KS02 will not energize. Under these conditions, the MANUAL
CONTROL switch must be placed in the STOP position once before any
tape motion may be initiated.
6-72. Contact set KS02B completes a circuit to +14 through contacts
5 and S on deck II ofSSOl so that manual control signals for tape
motion may be selected at the MANUAL CONTROL switch. contact sets
KS02C and KS02D, in conjunction with contacts 9 and 12 on deck I and
contacts 1 and 4 on deck II of S801 ensure that the forward actuator
and reverse actuator cannot be shifted ON until the basic interlock is
completed.
(Contact sets KS02E and KS02F are applicable only to
AUTOMATIC mode operation.)
6-73. contacts 1 and 4 on deck IV and contacts 5 and 8 on deck III of
SSOl connect through the interlock circuit to the coil of end-of-tape
relay KS03. If the outer section of the upper tape sensing contact
post is shorted to ground by conductive backing on the tape, the relay
is energized. contact set KS03A de-energizes the holding circuit of

6-19

interlock relay K802, the contacts of the relay return to their deenergized position, stopping tape motion. Note that end-of-tape relay
K803 can be energized only in the MANUAL mode. After the interlock
has been completed, contacts 5 and 8 on deck III also supply -24 vdc
to the MANUAL WRITE section (contacts 5 and 6 on deck I) of the MANUAL
WRITE/LEADER DRIVE switch, so that when that control is placed in the
MANUAL WRITE position, associated remote relays for write application
may be energized.
6-74. The MANUAL CONTROL switch S802 is a three-deck control, each
deck consisting of a two-pole, five-position switch. Deck I is a
shorting (make-before-break) type switch; decks II and III are nonshorting. The control may be used to select any of the fiv~ tape drive
conditions: FWD (Forward), FAST FWD (Fast Forward)" STOP, REV (Reverse),
and FAST REV (Fast Reverse or Rewind).
It should be noted that the
switch can select a drive condition only when the MODE SELECTOR switch
S80l is at MANUAL, and that all actions previously described for that
position are completed. The following discussion, therefore"assumes
that the MODE SELECTOR switch is in the MANUAL position, and that relays
K802, K804, and K805 have energized.
6-75. When switch S802 is placed in the FWD position, contacts 4 and
6 of deck III complete a +14 vdc circuit to the forward actuator ON
circuit and the +14 vdc to the OFF line through contacts 4 and 6 on
deck I is removed. The actuator will clamp the roller assembly against
the rotating forward capstan, and tape motion will start. When the
selector is returned to the STOP position, contacts 3 and 6 on deck I
connect the +14 vdc signal to the forward OFF circuit and the +14 vdc
to the ON circuit through contacts 4 and 6 on deck III is removed. The
roller ass~mbly moves away from the capstan and the tape motion is
stopped with the aid of the inertia brake on the roller assembly rocker
arm.
6-76. When the MANUAL CONTROL switch is placed in the REV position,
contacts 12 and 8 on deck III connect the +14 vdc to the reverse ON
circuit and the +14 vdc to the reverse OFF circuit through contact~ 9
and 12 on deck I is removed. The reverse actuator cramps the tape
against the rotating reverse capstan. When the selector is returned
to the STOP position, contacts 9 and 12 on deck I connect the +14 vdc
to the reverse OFF ,circuit. The roller moves away from the capstan,
and tape motion is stopped with the aid of the inertia brake on the
roller assembly arm.
6-77. When the MANUAL CONTROL switch is placed in the FAST FWD position, contacts 5 and 6 on deck III connect +14 vdc to the forward ON

6-20

circuit. contacts 12 and lIon deck II connect -24 vdc to thermal
time delay relay KBOI and, via pin 3B of P303, to rewind relay K701 on
the tape transport.
The latter relay selects the fast winding of the capstan drive motor
so that the capstans will be driven at higher speed. After approximately two seconds, thermal time delay relay KBOI will operate to open
its contact set. The contact set will remain open as long as the
MANUAL CONTROL switch is in the FAST FWD position; and for approximately five seconds after the control has been switched from this position. This feature prevents the sudden application of the opposite
roller assembly when using the fast winding modes as, for example, if
the MANUAL CONTROL switch were· suddenly moved from FAST FWD to reverse
while the tape was moving at high speed. If the roller assembly were
peImitted to clamp the tape almost immediately, the tape would be subjected to undue stress.

NOIE
It should be remembered that once the
actuator clamps the roller assembly
against the capstan, it will remain in
that position until the OFF signal is
received. Thus, breaking the circuit
by energizing KBOI will not stop tape
motion. The contacts of KBOI are in
series with both actuator ON circuits;
hence, neither actuator can be shifted
ON until thermal time-delay relay KBOI
has been allowed to cool.
Returning the selector to the STOP position results in connecting +14
vdc to the forward OFF actuator, through contacts 6 and 3 of deck I.
The roller assembly is removed from contact with the forward capstan,
rewind relay K70l on the transport is de-energized so that its contacts
select the normal winding of the capstan drive motor, and the contacts
of thermal time delay relay KBOI close after approximately five seconds
to close the circuit, allowing subsequent ON commands to operate the
actuator circuits.
6-7B. When the MANUAL control switch is placed in the FAST REV pOSition, the action is similar to the FAST FWD discussed above. Contacts
12 and 7 on deck III connect the +14 vdc signal to the reverse capstan.
contacts 12 and 7 of deck II connect -24 vdc to KBOI and K701, which
perform identical functions as under FAST FWD operation.

6-21

6-79. The MANUAL WRITE/LEADER DRIVE switch SS03 is a two-pole threeposition switch, with one position spring-loaded for return to the
center (OFF) position. The switch appears in the circuit only when
the MODE SELECTOR switch is in the MANUAL position.
I

6-S0. The purpose of the MANUAL WRITE position is to make -24 vdc
available to external controls for use in operating the write function
under manual control. Contacts 5 and 6 route this control voltage to
pin 25 of P303 when the switch is placed in the MANUAL WRITE position.
6-S1. The purpose of the LEADER DRIVE position of the switch is to
enable the operator to obtain tape motion when the end-of-tape relay
KS03 is energized, i.e. when the conductive backed tape is shorting
the outer section of either sensing post to ground. To remove the
metallized tape leader from the sensing post contacts 1 and 4 complete
the circuit for -24 vdc from teLminal 13 of P303 (assuming that short
loop/long loop switches are closed) to the coil of interlock relay KS02.
It is thus possible to energize this relay and achieve tape motion from
the MODE SELECTOR switch at times when KS03 is energized. The LEADER
DRIVE position of the switch is spring-loaded so that the control returns to the center (OFF) position when released.
1

l

l

6-S2. The function of interlock relay KS02 in the MANUAL mode is
basically the same as for AUTOMATIC operation. However the long loop/
short loop sensing operates while the system is in the MANQAL model
KS02 will not re-energize until the MANUAL CONTROL switch is reposi~
tioned to STOP (the holding circuit to KS02 will have been interrupted
and must reset via contacts 3 and 6 on deck II of the MANUAL CONTROL
switch) •
I

I

6-S3. Interruption of the basic interlock requires re-setting of the
basic interlock and return of the MANUAL CONTROL switch to STOP for a
moment before subsequent tape motion can be started.
6-S4.

PHOTOSENSE UNIT.

6-S5. The photosense unit gives an output when a reflective tab attached to the tape passes the photosense head. The output may be a
relay contact transfer or a vol tage level change or both de'pending
upon the type of photosense unit. When a relay contact output is used
a hold circuit is included to keep the contacts transferred for 100
milliseconds.
6-S6. The photosense head contains a light source and two photosensitive diodes. When normal (brown) tape is under the head very little
light from the light source is reflected from the tape to the diodes.

6-22

When a reflective tab passes under the head, light is reflected on one
of the diodes and increases its reverse conductivity. Each diode is
connected to the input of a transistor amplifier and a voltage is applied across it. Changes in diode conductivity due to the reflected
light are thus translated into current changes and amplified. The
amplifier output is taken to the input of a Schmitt trigger circuit
and its output is, in turn, used as input to a two-stage driver circuit. The driver provides current to an output relay or to an external load to give a voltage level change.
(See Figure 6-13.)
6-87. The electronics assemblies for a photosense channel, DC Amplifier, Schmitt Trigger, Phantastron (hold circuit), and Driver, are
mounted in individual packets. These are in turn mounted on a plug-in
composite base card. The complete photosense electronics unit consists
of two composite base cards (one for each channel), and three plug-in
power supply cards.
6-88. The DC Amplifier circuit uses a cornmon base amplifier and an
emitter follower.
(See Figure 6-14.)
The base of the cornmon base
amplifier (QI) is held slightly below ground by the forward resistance
of diode CRI and resistors Rl and R2 to the -10 volt supply. The
emitter voltage is determined by the emitter current and the current
through R4 dropped across the photo-diode and R3 in series. Diodes
CR2 and CRI parallel the photo-diode and prevent the voltage across it
becoming greater than the combined forward voltage drop of CR2 and CRI.
The base of the emitter follower stage (Q2) is tied to the collector of

01 and its emitter current and output voltage is determined by the voltage drop across R5 due to the collector current in Ql. Adjustment of
R4 changes the collector current in 01 and allows the output voltage
of Q2 to be set at -7.5 volts when no reflective tab is under the head.
6-89. When a reflective tab'passes under the sensing head, light is
reflected on the photo-diode and its resistance decreases, Ql conducts
more collector current, increasing the voltage drop across R5, and decreasing the base current in Q2. 02 emitter current now decreases and
the output voltage dropped across R6 and the load decreases to approximately -2 volts.
6-90. In its normal state Schmitt Trigger' transistor 01, (Figure
6-15) is held off by the ,negative voltage from the DC amplifier output.
Q2 is held on by the base current due to voltage divider Rl, R3, and
R5. When the base of 01 becomes less negative, due to a reflective
tab being sensed, 01 turns on, the base voltage on 02 becomes less
positive while its emitter voltage becomes more positive due to the
regenerative effect of R2, and Q2 turns off. After a reflective tab
has passed under the head and 01 base becomes more negative and the
Schmitt Trigger returns to its original state of Ql off and Q2 on.
The circuit output is clamped to ground by diode CRl and gives a rectangular positive-going output pulse.
6-91. Transistor 01 of the driver stage (Figure 6-16) is held off by
the negative output from the Schmitt Trigger until a reflective tab is
sensed. 02 is held off by the +12 volt supply and no current flows in

the relay coil or load resistor. When a reflective tab is sensed and
the input to Ql is grounded Ql and Q2 turn on and current flows in the
relay coil and load resistor, transferring the relay contacts and
raising the output level to +10 volts.
6-92. An alternate output
circuit the negative input
Q2 on and current flows in
Ql and Q2 turn off and the

circuit is shown in Figure 6-17. In this
during an off tab condition holds Ql and
the load resistor. When a tab is sensed
load circuit to ground is open.

6-93. The phantastron circuit, used to hold the output relay operated for 100 milliseconds after a tab is sensed, is show~ in Figure
6-18. In the normal (no tab sensed) condition Q3 is held on by the
current through R6 into its base and the output voltage is close to
the Q3 emitter voltage (+12 volts). Q3 collector current through R5
and Rl makes 01 base positive and holds Ql off. Q2 is held on by current through R2 from the -10 volt supply. Cl and C2 are discharged
(no difference in potential exists across them) but C3 is charged to
-10 volts.
6-94. When a negative-going input pulse is applied to Cl base current
flows in 01 and turns Ql on. Ql collector current reduces the negative voltage across C3 and C3 begins to discharge, causing a voltage
drop across R6, a positive voltage on Q3 base and Q3 to turn off.
With Q3 turned off the circuit output voltage and 'the voltage on Ql
base go to ground potential to hold Ql on after the input pulse on
Cl ends.
6-95. With Ql and Q2 both conducting C3 will discharge through R6
and C2 will charge through R2. The discharge rate of C3 is controlled
by the charging rate of C2. As C2 charges, a voltage drop occurs
across R2 which is a direct function of the rate of charge,this voltage drop is applied to Q2 base,reducing the base current and the
collector current. As Ql and Q2 are in series any change in Q2 collector current will result in a change in the charging rate of C2 and
the discharge rate of C3. The result is a linear discharge of C3 over
a period of 100 milliseconds. When C3 is discharged no voltage drop
exists across R6 and Q3 turns on, the output voltage goe~ positive, Ql
base goes positive and Ql starts to turn off. C3 now charges, reducing
the collector voltage on Ql while increasing the base current in Q3 to
create a regenerative action giving a short rise time to the output
pulse.

6-96. The output of the phantastron circuit is applied to
the base of transistor Q2 in the
output circuit (point C in Figure
6-16). When the phantastron is

for the duration of the phantastron output.

MAINTENANCE
7 -1.

GENERAL.

7-2. The TM-2 Tape Transport is designed to require minimum maintenance and service. Such maintenance as is required will be facilitated by a well-planned program of preventive maintenance, a systematically kept maintenance log, and carefully performed corrective
~aintenance as required.
Adherence to such a program will ensure
pptimum performance of the equipment over many years.
7-3. A listing of the recommended tools and equipment used in maintenance of the tape transport will be found at the end of this
section.
7-4.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

7-5. A program of planned periodic maintenance is the most effective
way of keeping the tape transport operating at its designed potential.
A recommended schedule is shown in Table 7-1.
It should be noted that
these maintenance procedures are scheduled by number of eight-hour
shifts, as well as by hours of running time as indicated on the
elapsed time meter at the rear of the tape transport.

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

7-7.

CLEANING THE TAPE TRANSPORT.

Use only the indicated cleaning fluids.
Use of solvents such as carbon tetrachloride may dissolve the adhesives used
in the head and vacuum chamber assemblies.
No alcohol should be allowed to reach the
capstan roller bearings.
The read/write head assembly should be cleaned with a lint-free cloth
or cotton swab moistened with Ampex Head Cleaner as shown in ~igure 7-1.
The head stacks and guides should be wiped carefully to remove all
traces of oxide and dirt.
It is not necessary to remove the head assembly from the transport for cleaning.

Objects extending more than 1/8" into
the vacuum chamber sensing slots may
cause permanent damage. Use only the
Ampex cleaning tool.
The vacuum chambers and loop sensing slots should be cleaned and freed
of any oxide accumulation.
Primary cleaning of the loop sensing slots
is accomplished by inserting the slot cleaning tool into the upper end
of each sensing slot and drawing it (once on~y) to the lower end of the
slot.
(See Figure 7-2.)
The vacuum chambers should then be cleaned
with a Kimwipe tissue moistened with alcohol, taking care that the
Scotch-Lite anti-static strip does not become saturated with alcohol.
Be particularly careful to remove all traces of foreign material from
the glass cover doors. The capstan roller assemblies, capstans, and
fixed tape guides should be thoroughly cleaned with a Kimwipe or cotton
swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol. All traces of dirt etc., should
be removed. The inside of the transport access door and the face of
the transport casting (especially the ledge under the take-up reel)
should be wiped free of all traces of foreign material. The tape
packer arm shoes should be carefully cleaned and ins~ected and any accumula'tion, especially on the lower reel packer arm shoe, should be

7-4

r e mov ed with a Kim-wipe tissue moistened with alcohol.
Packer a rm
shoes s h owing signs of damage or roughness should be replaced.
7-8. DEGAUSSING HEAD ASSEMBLY. Head demagnetization is an ex t r eme ly
importan t operation, especially demagnetization of the read he ad.
When any eleme n t in contact with the tape becomes permanently magne t ized, re corded data may be partially erased. Any phenomena te nd i ng
to place lar ge unbalanced pulses through the wri te or read he a d may
caus e magnetization. The following precautions should be observed :
1)
2)
3)

Do n o t connec t or disconnect head leads while writing.
Do no t test head continuity with an ohmmeter.
Do no t allow any magnetized object to come into contact with
any port ion of the transpo rt.

The head may be demagnetized by the following procedure:
Step 1:

Re move all tape from the transport.

Ste p 2:

Disc o nnect all power from the equipment.

Ste p 3:

Plug an Ampex Model 704 Demagnetizer into a source of 117
vac power.

Step 4:

Bring the tips of the demagnetizer into close proximity t o ,
b u t no t in contact with, the head (Figure 7-3).

with the tips of t he demagnetizer straddling the head gap,
run the demagnet izer slowly over the full length of the head.

S te p 6 :

Remove the dema gne tizer slowly, allowing the influence of the
a-c field to d i e gradually.

s tep 7 :

Repeat the proc e ss for the other head stack.

7 - 9. CLEANING RACK. The en t i re rack housing the tape transpor t and
the tape transport itself s hould be thoroughly cleaned on a regular
s c hedule.

Do not permi t any cleaning flui d to come
into contac t wi t h the capstan bearings
or capstan r ol ler bearings. Under no
circumstanc e s s hould the cleaning fluid
be allowed t o come into contact with the
head a s semb l y .
The front of the transport sho u ld b e carefully wi ped with a lin t -free
c l o th moistened with ethyl a lcoh ol.

Do not use the
vacuum cl e aner as
a blower or use
compress ed air to
clean the transport.
A vacuum cleaner is useful in
reaching otherwise inaccessibl e
dirt on the rear of the transpor t ,
inside cabinet racks, etc. The
entire rear of the transpor t and
the cabinet housing the transport
should be thoroughl y cleaned.
Figure 7-3.

7-10. REPLACING AIR FILTERS.
The vacuum blower filter, pos i t i ve

pressure blower filter, and the two filters in the rear door of the
rack cabinet should be changed regularly. The vacuum blowe~ filter
is replaced by releasing the retainer and pulling the filter straight
fo.rward by means of the two loops prov ided . The new f il ter is installed by reversing the above process. The positive pressure blower
filter is replaced by removing the pan head screw which holds the
filter housing in its closed position. The two filters in the rear
door of the rack cabinet are replaced by lifting them from their retaining slides. All filters are reusable, and may be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner.

Be certain that any filter cleaned with
water is allowed to dry thoroughly before
being returned to service.
If the filter
is not completely dry, moist air may be
pumped into the transport and damage the
tape and the transport.
Following this cleaning, the filters should be thoroughly washed in
clear water and allowed to dry.
7-11. REPLACING TAPE PACKER ARM SHOES. Tape packer arm shoes may be
replaced without removing the arm. A single screw holding the shoe
to the arm must be removed, the new shoe fitted, and the screw replaced.
If the arm must be replaced, follow the steps in paragraph
7-21 which refer to the packer arm.
7-12. REPLACING THYRATRONS. The four thyratrons on the actuator
control unit AC-400, the eight thyratrons on the servo motor power
supply PS-200, and the thyratron in the electronics power supply PS100 should be replaced after each 480 hours operating time. Following
replacement, the servos should be checked and adjusted as detailed in
paragraph 4-13; the actuators should be checked and adjusted as detailed in paragraph 4-16.
7-13. REPLACING VACUUM TUBES. The vacuum tubes on the oscillator
(OSC-700) and servo amplifier (SA-SOO) printed circuit boards should
be replaced each 992 hours operating time. Following the replacement,
the servos should be completely adjusted as detailed in paragraph
4-13.

7-7

7-14. REPLACING VACUUM BLOWER MOTOR BRUSHES. A preassembled spare
vacuum blower assembly may be installed and new brushes installed in
the original motor without prolonging the down time.
Step 1:

Remove the vacuum blower assembly by disconnecting the powev
plug to the motor and unsnapping the two latches which hold
the blower assembly to the base.
(Install the spare blower
assembly by placing it on the base and snapping the two
latches. Connect the power plug.)

Step 2:

Remove the filter.

Step 3:

Loosen the two screws which secure the blower motor to the
blower housing.

Step 4:
