Abstract
A method and apparatus for loading a recording medium such as a video magnetic tape into a magazine or cartridge employing an S-shaped running path. Both surfaces of the recording medium are placed over winding cores and held in the S-shape by stationary and movable forming pins. The reels of the winding cores are held so as to shift the assembly to a position above a body part of the magazine on a pallet transported by a conveyor belt. The assembly is then lowered so that the guide members forming the S-shaped running path are inserted into hollow lower end portions of the forming pins. The forming pins are then lifted from the guide members as the reels are released.
