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.

Abstract: A mechanism (151) for defining a write protect state of a data storage media (103) enclosed in a housing (101) of a data storage element (100) is disclosed. The mechanism (151) includes an aperture (302) formed in an exterior surface of the housing (101). A member (323) movable between a first and second region within the aperture (302). A first human intelligible mark (326) approximates the first region to depict a portion of a predetermined symbol corresponding to either a write enable or protect state. A second human intelligible mark (325) placed on the member (323) for depicting a remaining portion of the symbol. The second mark being alignable with the first mark (326) in the first region to depict the whole symbol, thereby indicating one of the states of the media. When the first and second marks (326, 325) are not aligned, they (326, 325) depict a portion of the symbol to indicate the remaining state of the media.
