Abstract:

A recording tape applicator has a card with an edge forming an abutment surface, a release sheet secured to the card and extending outward beyond the abutment surface, and a strip of magnetic recording tape adhesively supported by the release sheet on the side opposite the card. The recording tape is spaced from and accurately parallel with the abutment surface of the card, and the release sheet has a slit extending longitudinally along the middle of the recording tape so that an outer portion of the release sheet can be removed to expose about half of the tape. The card is then abutted against an object, and the tape is pressed against a face surface of the object to align the tape accurately with the edge of the object. Then the card and the remaining release sheet is pulled away from the tape, and the whole tape is pressed against the object and trimmed if necessary.
