ABSTRACT:
A cassette loader for loading a length of magnetic tape into a cassette having a relatively short length of leader tape preloaded into the cassette and attached by opposite ends to respective first and second cassette hubs. The cassette loader has a leader tape extraction position for holding a cassette, a leader tape extractor for extracting the leader tape from the cassette in preparation for splicing the leader tape to a length of magnetic tape and a cassette loading position spaced-apart from the leader tape extraction position for loading a length of magnetic tape into a cassette the leader tape of which has previously been spliced to the magnetic tape in the leader tape extraction position. A cassette loader is provided for loading a length of magnetic tape into the cassette at the cassette loading position simultaneously with the operation of the leader tape extractor on the cassette in the leader tape extraction position and a transfer device is provided for transferring successive cassettes from said leader tape extraction position to the cassette loading position. A cassette ejector is provided for ejecting cassettes loaded with magnetic tape from the cassette loading position to permit loading of another cassette for loading.
