Tape connector connects which two components?

• A. Connects cross deck pendant and mobility system
• B. Connects purchase tape and anchoring components
• C. Connects purchase tape and cross deck pendant
• D. Connects cross deck pendant and rotor

Answer: (D)

The tape connector is the coupling that transfers motion from the drive element to the load attachment. In this setup, the rotor provides the rotational drive, winding or unwinding the tape, while the cross deck pendant is the point that attaches to the load or guides operation on the deck. The connector must link these two so that rotation of the rotor translates into controlled movement of the pendant and, therefore, proper tape handling. Without this connection, the rotor would spin without moving the pendant, and the system couldn’t load or deploy the tape properly. The other potential pairings don’t fit because they place the tape between components that aren’t the interface for transmitting drive to the pendant (or they involve parts that aren’t meant to interact through the tape connector).
