Dependent Claim
137 words
In an information recording system: a. recording apparatus for recording information on magnetic recording tape, including: 1. selectively actUable first means for moving said tape; 2. selectively actuable second means for recording, in a recording mode of operation, information on a said moving tape, and for reproducing, in a playback mode of operation, recorded information from a said moving tape; and b. remote control means including: 1. means for providing control signals for actuating said first means; and 2. means for conveying in said control signals to said first means, said conveying means being attachable to and detachable form said recording apparatus and including means for presetting said second means to said recording mode of operation upon an attachment of said conveying means to said recording apparatus irrespective of the prior setting of the recorder operational mode.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
A system as claimed in claim 1, wherein: a. said second means are adapted to be tripped to a quiescent state other than said recording and said playback modes of operation; and b. said conveying means include means for tipping said second means to said quiescent state upon a detachment of said conveying means from said recording apparatus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
means for conveying in said control signals to said first means, said conveying means being attachable to and detachable form said recording apparatus and including means for presetting said second means to said recording mode of operation upon an attachment of said conveying means to said recording apparatus irrespective of the prior setting of the recorder operational mode.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
means for conveying in said control signals to said first means, said conveying means being attachable to and detachable form said recording apparatus and including means for presetting said second means to said recording mode of operation upon an attachment of said conveying means to said recording apparatus irrespective of the prior setting of the recorder operational mode.

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
64 words
A system as claimed in claim 1, wherein: a. said second means are adapted to be tripped to a quiescent state other than said recording and said playback modes of operations; and b. said conveying means include means for tripping said second means to said quiescent state during each attachment and during each detachment of said conveying means to and from said recording apparatus.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said recording apparatus includes manually actuable means for selectively actuating said second means to said recording mode of operation while said conveying means are detached from said recording apparatus.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
