A method of placing tape in a cassette during manufacture. Tape hubs are held above the flanged holes on the bottom half of a cassette in which the hubs will ride. A length of tape is attached to one of the hubs and is rolled onto the hub by rotating the hub. A portion of the same length of tape is attached to the other hub so that the tape runs between the hubs. The tape is pulled over the front of the cassette bottom, allowing the rolled up tape to unwind as much as required. The hubs and tape are then allowed to rest on the cassette bottom and the hubs are rotated to make up tape slack. Due to the construction of the bottom cassette portion, the tape does not meet any obstruction and will be threaded in the desired path.
