Abstract: A manually operated spool-to-spool winder is provided for inspecting cash register tape which includes a C-shaped framework including a flat base, an upright plate and a horizontal tape supporting plate. A pair of rotatable tape supporting spindles are journaled for rotation in the upright portion of the framework. A large serrated hand wheel is mounted on the inside of the vertical supporting plate and a relatively small knob is connected to the spindle on the outside surface of each support plate for rotating the spindles rapidly. The large diameter hand wheels facilitate slow precision advance of the tape.
