Volume: 1978, No. 19, pp. 61–75
Abstract: The primary purpose of any tape transport is to move the tape past the magnetic heads under precise position, tension, and velocity control. Helical scan VTR's, perhaps more than any other type, demand careful attention to each of these requirements.

bio
Dennis M. Ryan earned his B.S.M.E. in 1960 at Texas A&M University. Mr. Ryan has been with Ampex Corporation for the past ten years. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, Dennis has been involved with the design of professional VTR ‘s, both quadruplex and helical. He has devoted the last five years to the design of helical scan VTR's, culminating in the latest VPR-1 development. Dennis has also been active in helping to formulate mechanical parameters of the new Type-C format.
