Sounds like a misunderstanding of the very effective Studer A80/Telefunken M10 layout, where a carriage with two rollers moves forward to engage te tape with the headblock in play and record, and retracts to allow free passage in fast wind, avoiding the use of tape lifters. This, of course, is a precision mechanism...
