If you follow the course of the cassette tape round you'll see what supports/guides the tape towards the two heads and then the rubber "Pinch wheel" and the thin motor metal shaft (Capstan) it rolls against. This compression of the rubber with the rotating spindle is what pulls the tape through. I agree your dating of this.
