	A '''magnetic tape drive''' (also called a '''transport''', or '''unit''') is the actual mechanical mechanism which handles a reel of [[magnetic tape]] (hub, motors, etc); it also includes a certain amount of [[electronic]]s (e.g. usually the [[amplifier]]s which handle the signals from the magnetic [[head]]s are included in each drive).
