ABSTRACT:
An inventory minimizing method and apparatus for simultaneously loading elongated, relatively narrow tapes into a plurality of preleadered tape-handling cassettes. A roll of web tape many times wider than the width of an individual cassette tape is progressively formed into a plurality of narrow width composite web tapes consisting of a series of longitudinally spaced-apart tapes, of predetermined length, that have adjacent end portions attached to one another by means of an adhesive web tape connecting splice-tape. The leader material of a preleadered cassette is attached to each end of one of the tapes in a composite tape in the following manner. The cassette tape leader is severed into two separate smaller leader lengths with an end of each such smaller length remaining attached to one of two intenal cassette spools. One of the short lengths of tape of a composite tape is removed from the composite tape by severing the adhesive splice-tapes at opposite ends thereof into two separate portions such that an adhesive surface of each severed splice tape portion forms an adhesive lip that extends beyond the tape length to which it is adhesively attached. A surface of each of the severed tape leader ends is then respectively pressed against an adhesive surface of one of the adhesive lips extending from opposite ends of a short length of tape, with portions of the short length of tape and the attached leader material being wound onto a cassette spool after each leader is adhesively attached to its respective tape end. This leader attaching process is duplicated for other cassettes being loaded with tape at the same time and repeated for subsequently loaded cassettes.
