Abstract
Apparatus for supporting rolls of overlay and base tapes, and guiding the tapes to pressure rollers after the base tape passes through a computer printer to produce an endless web of protected labels. The pressure rollers may be rotated either manually or by an electric motor. Between the printer outlet and the pressure rollers, the base tape passes through a bail mechanism which is rotationally moveable by the relative tension and slack in the base tape to operate a microswitch in the motor circuit. Both the label-making apparatus and the printer rest upon a planar base member to which the apparatus is fixedly attached.
