Abstract
Abstract A cassette comprises a base part and a closure member (202). The base part and closure member each have mating guide members (204, 206; 212, 214) which, when they mate, form and enclosed guide for tape (114) housed in the cassette. In this way, construction of the cassette is simplified.
