HOW
EACH
PART
OPERATES
—__
a.
CLUTCH
PLATE
(B)
(Fig.

There
is
felt
attached
to
this
and
friction
force
is
generated
(Shown
by
the
arrow)
and
it
seems
as
if
it
is
pushing
the
AS
ARM
outwards.
b. AS LEVER (Figs. 14, 16)
The
pin
attached
to
the
rear
of
the
AS
LEVER
enters
the
groove
of
the
WORM
GEAR.
It
touches
against
thet
section
a
as
the
WORM
GEAR
revolves
and
moves
to
the
left
or
right
or
is
pushed
down by ct section B.
c. RELEASE LEVER (Fig. 14)
Adds
the
same
friction
force
to
the
AS
ARM
by
pulling
down
the
AS
ARM
Spring
in
the
pause
mode as when the reel revolves.

When
put
into
the
PLAY
(FF,
RWD)
mode
the
fly-
wheel
revolves
and
the
WORM
pulley
and
WORM
gear
revolves.
The
reel
revolves
and
the
CLUTCH
PLATE
goes
to
push
the
AS
ARM
outwards
with
the
friction
force
so
the
pin
at
the
rear
of
the
AS
LEVER
‘receives
this
force
to
the
left
then
it
contacts
the
ridged
sectionc!
4A
of
the
WORM
GEAR
and
move
to
the
left
and
right.
At
the
end
of
the
tape,
the
reel
stops
revolving
so
the
friction
disappears.
In
the
PLAY
(FF,
RWD)
mode
the
RELEASE
LEVER
drops
so
friction
is
not
added
to
the
AS
ARM
from
the
AS
ARM
SPRING.
The
Worm
Lever
continues
to
revolve
and
the
AS
LEVER
pin
is
taken
up
to
the
top
of
the
ridged
C4
section
where
it
then
stops.
It
is
then
pushed
down
by
the
WORM
GEAR
section
Bl,
and
pushes
down
the
AS
SLIDE
with
the
AS
LEVER
and
releases
the
PLAY
(FF,
RWD)
keys.
When
the
PAUSE
key
is
depressed
from
the
PLAY
mode
the
reel
stops
revolving
and
the
force
from
the
CLUTCH
PLATE
tothe
AS
ARM
stops.
However
the
PAUSE
SLIDE
moves
upwards
and
pushes
up
the
RELEASE
LEVER
which
had
been
held
down
so
the
same
force
is
applied
as
to
the
AS
ARM
by
the
AS
ARM
SPRING
so
AUTO
STOP
does
not
operate.
