Magnetic tape drive

The  is an electro-mechanical device used for recording and storing data for a computer system. A magnetic tape drive machine has two tapes and the components needed for recording and reading data from the tapes. The tapes are later stored in a hard drive archive for later reference. The device has an internal power source. These devices are used in the Vault-Tec Vaults.

Game Mechanics
The tapes are displaying rotational movement, i.e. circular movements.

Note
Unlike our magnetic tape drives which are arranged horizontally, the drives in the Fallout world have been constructed with the two magnetic tapes arranged vertically on the right side. There is a glitch in the representation of the magnetic tape drive in the game. A magnetic tape should be visible running from the data recorder on the left side of the device to each of the two tapes on the right. However, this tape is missing.
