How has Nakamichi dealt with the problems associated with auto reverse?

Since most decks can not obtain a perfect 180 degree turn of the head, which results in poor azimuth in one direction, Nakamichi refused to make an auto reverse deck for many years. They finally produced the RX-202 and RX-505 which are uni-directional auto reverse. The tape is actually turned around and the azimuth is unchanged. They also made the Dragon which features self-correcting azimuth in both directions.
