Abstract
Abstract An automatic dispenser of printed gummed tape which includes a signal on the tape out of the area containing printed indicia. This signal motivates a control device which in turn stops the feeding of the tape and energizes a cutting device to cut the tape between each area of repetitious printed indicia with accurate indexing. No reliance is placed on measuring the length of section to be cut off by the rotation of tape feeding rolls.
