ABSTRACT:
A cassette, apparatus, and method for obtaining selected segments of magnetic tape for storage or other purposes from a length of magnetic tape upon which information is recorded by a conventional cassette recorder. The cassette has means for removing a take-up reel and a selected segment of the magnetic tape attached to the take-up reel from the casette while at the same time retaining the supply reel in operational position within the cassette. The apparatus includes means for positioning a second take-up reel relative to the cassette; tape positioning means for positioning a selected segment of the tape in a clamping position between the second take-up reel and a finger extending from the take-up reel, and means for clamping the segment of tape to the second take-up reel. The method comprises steps of removing a take-up reel and an attached selected segment of magnetic tape from a cassette with a leader segment between the selected segment of the magnetic tape and a remaining segment of the magnetic tape attached to the supply reel, securing a new take-up reel to the leader segment of the magnetic tape, severing the selected segment of tape, and placing the new take-up reel and leader segment in operative position within the cassette.
