until the cartridge leader buckle is

The linear tape speed when the tape is almost fully rewound into the cartridge
should be approximately6 inches/second. The motor spindle revolutions per

cartridge reel, which can be seen with the cover removed, it is possible to rewind
at a much higher tape speed, decreasing the speed near the end.
Caution:
Do not place the SDLT drive upside down when the cover is removed.
