ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for engaging tape wound on a reel and for threading the tape on various members of a tape loading machine comprises a grasping member supported by a driving bar slidably engaged in a support arm and movable in a vertical direction. The support arm extends downwardly from a main carriage horizontally movable along guide bars slidably carried on top of a tape loading center. The grasping member is designed to pick up a closure tab associated with a pancake previously mounted on a support hub belonging to the loading machine. By the combination of vertical and horizontal movements imparted to the grasping member by the driving bar and the main carriage, the magnetic tape connected to the closure tab is partly unwound from the pancake and guided in a predetermined path between the different members of the loading machine.
