Abstract
Abstract The cassette (6) contains a disc (7) within an enclosure (10A, B) which has two major walls (11A, B) and a peripheral wall (12A, B, C). The disc is rotatable by means of a drive apparatus (1). On each side of said disc information can be recorded and/or reproduced through openings (13A, B) in the major walls. For closing these openings there is provided a single closing member (14) which simultaneously closes both openings and which is bodily removable in a radial direction with respect to the disc and comprises a portion (14A, B) of each of the major walls of the information disc cassette and a portion (12C) of the peripheral wall between said two portions of the major walls.
