Abstract
The present system for joining tape leaders is comprised of an elongated member which has a finger like protrusion and a cam protrusion both of which are disposed close to one end thereof. The elongated member has an elongated slot at one end which fits over a stud and is further rotationally coupled to a crank so that the elongated member can pivot around said stud in a number of different positions in response to the crank being moved. The crank is rotationally coupled to a cam follower and the crank is further arranged to rotate about a stud.
