Abstract
A section (21) of tape (20), having an adhesive side (22), is advanced from a roll (18) and is held tautly beneath a plurality of tubes (86). The section (21) of tape (20) is vacuumly gripped on the adhesive side (22) by the tubes (86) and is thereafter severed from the roll (18). The tubes (86) are then moved to accurately place the severed section (21) of the tape (20) onto a tape support surface (44). Vacuum is removed from the tubes (86) and is applied to the surface (44) to facilitate the transfer of the severed section (21) of the tape (20) to the surface.
