Abstract
Strip material is stored in stock rolls on cassettes positioned in side by side relationship and moveable on a carriage between different roll storage positions and a splicing position. Each cassette has a guide member engageable with a guide member on a stationary support for splicing a leading edge of strip material from one roll to a trailing edge of strip material from another roll. A single actuating cylinder and shaft on the stationary support moves the guide members together providing splicing of strip material on all the rolls.
