Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed for splicing webs (14, 18) such as photographic film in which the lead end of a new web and the tail end of an old web are trimmed at the parallel edges (82, 84) of their input platens (36, 38) and then shifted into abutment for application of a strip of tape. An automatic tape dispenser (128) cuts tape into predetermined lengths, transfers the lengths to a vacuum applicator wheel (130) and then rolls the lengths across the abutted lead and tail ends.
