<DIV><FONT size=3>Hi Chris:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>It engages a "brake" to keep the reels from turning when the
unit is powered off and transported. When the machine is in operation,
braking is dynamic, so there are no mechanical brakes to hold the reels when
power is off. Thus the manually engaged brake.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Ampex cleverly used some existing parts for this design.
The roller that presses against the reel flange edges to provide the brake
function is the same part that's used as a pinch roller in the 600 series audio
decks. Likewise, the control knob is the same as found on an
AG-600.</FONT></DIV>
