Apparatus for automatically loading a length of film into a cartridge having a rotatable reel disposed within the cartridge shell. The film is fed from a supply, its free end is connected to the cartridge reel at a first station and the cartridge reel is driven to wind a predetermined length of film onto the reel. The film is severed between the supply and the cartridge so that a free film end extends from the cartridge. The cartridge is then moved to a second station at which the free film end is spliced to one end of a film leader. The film and a major portion of the leader are then wound into the cartridge.
