Abstract
A cut end (18) of a web (14) is held by a vacuum shuttle head (105, 106, 108, 136, 138) and a central vacuum finger (114-124) holds a central tongue (22) of the web during insertion into a preassembled cartridge (50, 52, 26). During winding the cartridge is rotated (174-184) to avoid scraping the web on the cartridge.
