TAPE INDICATOR 75. 03
The tape indicator is a trigger that may be used to indicate certain conditions
sensed within the tape unit. It may be controlled externally or internally.

TAPE BREAK INDICATION 75.03
If the machine is rewinding at high speed and a break occu rs, provision must be
made to stop the unit.
This is done by using the same photo cell that is used for end-
of-tape indication.
A light source is brought up from underneath the tape. It shines
on the cell if the tape breaks.

in 75.09. 03.
This is a latch pick relay that remains latched until an unload condi
tion is initiated.
To stop the reel motion, a R41-1 point opens in the circuit of R l,
a run relay. When the run relays drop out, the motors stop running and the brake is
applied.
Depressing the unload button picks R41LT (75. 09.03) through R22-6 and R41-2.
This places the machine back in normal status.

STARTING FROM LOAD POINT 75. 04
To read or write at the beginning of the tape, the start line is brought up as a
result of the go line from the external control.

As a result of this, "at load point" drops and "select and at
load point" drops.
Therefore, unless the tape is rewound, no more load point con
siderations are made.
