ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for filling a cassette with a length of magnetic tape, comprising a cassette holder movable between at least two positions; a splicing table having three rectangular aligned vacuum pads, a first pad being arranged on a stationary first block of a splicing table, and second and third pads being arranged on a second, pivotal block on the splicing table; an extraction member for withdrawing leader tape from the cassette; a cutting member for severing the leader tape and a length of magnetic tape; a splicing assembly for splicing the magnetic tape to the leader; and a winding device for winding the magnetic tape and leader after splicing. The cassette holder is pivotable about an axis between a first position straight above the splicing table, where it cooperates with the winding device, and a second position inclined to the splicing table which provides room for operation of the splicing assembly. The cassette holder pivots about an axis lying substantially in a plane through the second block pivotal axis, which plane bisects the width of the first vacuum pad between the pivotal axis of the second block and the upper surface of the first vacuum pad, the two pivotal axes being substantially parallel.
