Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2298821A] A winding mechanism (10) capable of winding a ribbon (13) or similar in for example, a printing apparatus, comprises a supply spool (11) and a take-up spool (14). A ribbon path exists between the ribbon (13) and the spools (11, 14), along which a printing station (20) may be situated, a motive means causes the ribbon (13) to move along said path and wind onto the take-up spool (14). A sensing means (22) senses the movement of the ribbon (13) as the take-up spool (14) rotates and provides an input to a control means (25) which provides a signal along line (26) and thus controls the motive means.
