Abstract
An apparatus for applying a continuous film to a tube. A carriage allows the apparatus to move axially along the exterior of the tube. A film holder retains and dispenses the continuous film. A mechanism is provided to change the orientation of the film after being dispensed from the film holder. Guide rollers spaced radially and axially about the tube shape the continuous film longitudinally about the circumference of the tube.
