Abstract
An apparatus for winding magnetic tape into a cassette case positions and hold a cassette case, extracts and retains leader tape, cuts and splices leader tape to magnetic tape, and winds magnetic tape onto a hub inside the cassette case. Before a predetermined amount of magnetic tape has been wound, the magnetic tape is retained, cut, spliced to leader tape, and the extracted slack tape is wound into the cassette case. The tape retaining mechanism has a first and a second tape retainer which hold cut ends of the leader tape, and a third tape retainer which holds the cut end of magnetic tape. The second tape retainer is moved to a standby position prior to winding magnetic tape. A jet of air, provided by a nozzle aimed through an opening in the side of the cassette case, applies pressure to the leader tape held by the second retainer to draw slack tape into the cassette case.
