ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a method of removing splicing tape (30) from two filmstrips (10, 20). Trailing edge (12) of filmstrip (10) has an aperture (14) formed therein over which at least a portion (32) of splicing tape (30) overlaps. At a splice removal station (40) comprising a pair of spaced apart support surfaces (42, 44) which defined a gap (46) therebetween, a gripper device (48) passes through aperture (14) to grip portion (32) of the splicing tape (30) and to detach it from trailing edge (12) of filmstrip (10). As gripper device (48) is pulled downwards through gap (46), splicing tape (30) is drawn over edge (50) on support surface (42) to detach it from leading edge (22) of filmstrip (20).
