Greetings all.
This subject possibly been dealt with in earlier postings. If available 
in archives please point the direction.

The ribbon in question, fabric cotton I guess, has been torn in half. 
Some method of joining is needed which will transverse the ribbon guides 
without jamming. Glueing appears (to  me) to be the only way with a 
chance of success but would necessarily be able to do its job while 
maintaining a flexible minimum thickness of the tape joint. If glueing 
is the method of joining used, some points on the preparation of the 
ribbon to ensure adhesion will be appreciated.

Cheers.
Maurie
