ABSTRACT:
In an automatic cassette loading machine, a pancake is mounted on a rotatable support hub. A reading member, movable with respect to the axis of the pancake, is moved until it is across from the pancake. It is then moved across the pancake such that it detects the peripheral edge of the pancake as the reading member passes beyond the pancake. The pancake is thereafter rotated until a projecting end of the tape on the pancake is located in a predetermined position. This enables the end of tape to be picked up by a grasping member associated with the cassette loading machine.
