Zusammenfassung:A tape cartridge (10) having a solid metal mount plate (12) including a plurality of surfaces (51, 52, 53) thereon simultaneously machined to the same plane. Tape reels (200, 300) and tape guides (105, 125) are affixed to the mount plate (12), thereby ensuring precise alignment to each other. A portion of at least one of the surfaces is exposed to the outside of the tape cartridge (10) by recesses (30, 31) in the tape cartridge cover. Upon seating the tape cartridge (10) in a tape drive, guides (105, 125) are inserted into the recesses, thereby ensuring precise alignment of tape wound upon the tape to a tape head in the tape drive.
