Abstract: A facsimile operation method comprising the steps of reading an original document for transmission, transmitting the image signals of the original document to a receiving side and, at the same time, transmitting part of image signals corresponding to the information appearing in part of the original document to a recording apparatus on the transmitting side, recording the image in the part of the original document on a record sheet by the recording apparatus, and after the completion of the transmission, comparing the images recorded on the record sheet with the images appearing on the original document so as to check whether or not the transmission has been made correctly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tape-transport apparatus wherein a first brake is provided for a reel for winding a magnetic tape thereon, the reel being operatively coupled to a first DC motor; a second brake is provided for a reel for supplying the magnetic tape, the reel being operatively coupled to a second DC motor; means is provided which is adapted to impart the retarding force to the second DC motor when an electromotive force, which is generated by the rotation of the first DC motor due to its inertia whenever the power supply to the first DC motor is interrupted, is in excess of a predetermined level; and there is provided means which is adapted to operate the first and second brakes when the magnitude of the electromotive force reaches a predetermined value, thereby stopping the transport of the tape.
