You might want to add this picture
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hp-tape.jpg> from my website. It shows the
tape and belt paths better than the one you have does. I think I got this
from one of the HP Journals that had an article about
the tape drive. I
think it was probably the June 1976
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hpjournals/6-76.jpg> one that announced the
HP 9825 since it was the first released product to use that drive.

a diagram of the tape path inside the cartridge and gives instructions
on how to rethread a tape.
