Abstract
The invention concerns the joining of webs in adjacent cassettes, particularly as a supply for a ticket issuing machine. A web supply system comprises a plurality of cassettes (12) each containing a fan folded web (13) of material, each cassette having a common web exit and web entrance, the cassettes being arranged side by side and the leading end of a first of the webs being arranged to pass through the exit of that cassette to an operating/issuing machine and the trailing end (19) of the web of each cassette (except the last) extending through the entrance of that cassette and being joined to the leading end (19a) of the web from the next adjacent cassette, the web extending in a loop between adjacent cassettes so that the web from all the cassettes can be supplied as a continuous web to the processing/issuing machine.
