Abstract
Apparatus for winding a preselected, programmable amount of tape under a predetermined level of tension is described. The tape is automatically placed under the predetermined level of tension prior to actually winding the tape onto the hub. The tape is fed at a variable speed according to a look-up table, while it is wound onto a hub, and is servoloop controlled so as to maintain constant tension on the tape as the speed at which the tape is fed changes.
