Abstract
A number of reel groups each consisting of two or more reels are axially arranged side by side on reel support shafts. A number of tapes equal to the number of reel groups are wound simultaneously, one on a corresponding reel of each reel group. When the tapes are fully wound up on the reels of the reel groups, the reel groups are axially shifted on the shafts to change reels. The axial movement of the reel groups may be made by axially sliding the reels on the shaft or by axially shifting the reels and the shaft together.
