Abstract: Apparatus for feeding a loop of magnetic tape is described in which signals recorded in a control track coextensively with information signals recorded in an information track are utilized to control the tape feed so that during recording or playback of a block of information signals, the tape is fed at slow speed and between blocks of information signals the tape is fed at fast speed. The tape feed may be automatically stopped at the beginning of each block of information.
