Abstract
An adjustable tape chute guides a composite tape on a tape laying machine. The chute has a main body with a central guide slot of nominal width, for receiving a composite tape. The exit end of the chute has a pair of opposite edge guides which are movable with an adjusting screw along guide pins to conform to the actual tape width, so the tape may be accurately deposited alongside previously deposited tape strips.
