ABSTRACT:
A tape winding guide and centering apparatus engages the outside face of each of the flanges of the reel being wound by one of a pair of variably spaced apart, coaxial, similarly sized confronting annuli which rotate with the reel during the winding operation. The variable spacing of the annuli is controlled to distort the reel to close the peripheries of the flanges to a predetermined spacing. An adjustable stop is also provided to position the reel hub to a predefined axial location relative to the distorted flange rims.
