Abstract
An apparatus for winding a video tape on to the spools of a cassette comprises a winder for winding the video tape on to spools and a 'delivery' device for delivering a pair of spools to the winder. The 'delivery' device comprises a movable cylinder containing two pistons, which cylinder acts on a swivel arm, the free end of which arm carries a rotatably mounted arm. This arm has a pair of holders for holding the pair of spools and a guide device for guiding the tape leader situated between the spools. The transfer device described above transfers the pair of spools from the container to the pins of the winder and from the winder back to the container after the winding process.
