Abstract:
For playing a flexible, disc-shaped record, the record is inserted into and removed from a playback device while contained within a protective cover, the device including a depositing surface, a playback surface and a guide surface, and a drive arrangement for moving the record disc from its protective cover at the depositing surface, into engagement with the guide surface, onto the playback surface, and then, after being played, back again to the depositing surface and into its protective cover.
