the read/write head. Stop this rotation when the LBA is near the tape
guide roller nearest the rear of the drive shown as

in Figure 39 on
page 106) until the rotator stub (

in Figure 39 on page 106) is
positioned as shown. Notice that the rotator stub (
3
in Figure 39 on
page 106) is nearly aligned with the cartridge loader tray guide
bearing (
