Abstract: A helical transport includes a chassis (234) having a front end portion and a rear end portion. An elevator assembly (208) is mounted on the chassis at the front end. The elevator assembly is configured to receive a tape cartridge and to position the tape cartridge in a loaded position. A take-up reel assembly (236) is coupled to the chassis at the rear end portion. A helical deck (216) is mounted on a central portion of the chassis between the elevator assembly and the take-up reel assembly. The helical deck includes a rotary read/write head, a substantially linear tape loading path between the elevator assembly and the take-up reel assembly, and a movable guide for seizing the tape from the tape loading path and for partially wrapping the tape around the rotary head.
