Abstract

Tape (142) issues in operation from vacuum trough (142b), is manually grasped by its end, and disposed on clasp (40). Control functions displace changeover arm (35) in a clockwise sweep beneath splicing station (2) to a displacement limit with clasp (40) immediately adjacent final guide assembly (25) with tape (142) disposed in groove (4). Vacuum shoe (6) retains tape (142) on the splicing surface and the tape is slit by slitting end (7). Leader extraction arm (21) of final guide assembly (25) is received through an aperture in the cassette. Lift arm (19) at its lower extremity of reciprocation has its foot (24) received in an aperture in the cassette with vacuum shoe (22) immediately beneath the tape bridge and plate (18) is rotatable to bring arm (21) into contact with the tape displacing the leader loop so as to circulate about the locus of retracted strobe wheel (20). <IMAGE>
