ABSTRACT:
A machine for loading magnetic tape into cassettes is provided which comprises a splicing block assembly mounted on a pivotally mounted support and comprising two splicing blocks, one fixed to the support and the second pivotally mounted to the support, means for rotating the second block relative to the first block so that either of two tape-receiving tracks on the first block may be aligned with a single tape receiving track on the first block, means for rotating the support between a first tape winding position and a second tape splicing position, and a splicer for splicing abutting tape ends on the splicing block assembly when the support is in the second tape splicing position. The machine also includes first and second spindles movable into and out of engagement with the two hubs of a cassette in loading position, first and second motors for rotating said spindles so as to rotate said hubs, a selectively engagable clutch connecting the first spindle to said first motor, means for energizing said second motor while said clutch is disengaged so as to transfer leader from one hub to the other hub, selectively operable means for energizing said first motor, and means for engaging said clutch when said first motor is energized. The machine is arranged so that it may be easily adapted for loading two differenet types of video cassettes.
