on top of the controller. Figure 3-3 shows the basic parts of this
component.

1 Control panel
At the upper-left corner are the touch-sensitive switches that
direct the magnetic tape drive. Some tape drive commands
may also be keyed in at the keyboard. Each of these
switches is described in the "Control panel switches" section.
2 Power switch
The main power switch (circuit breaker) is at the upper-right
corner of the tape deck. In the OFF position (the 0 side
pressed), the input AC voltage is removed from the tape
drive power supply. In the ON position (the 1 side pressed),
the transport is powered on by reapplying the input AC
voltage.
3 File reel
The file reel (supply reel) is mounted onto the upper hub.
The tape may be either a job tape or a scratch tape for
diagnostics.

transport. Sometimes known as the machine reel, it
functions as a take-up reel for the tape supply.
