To insert MT strips into the cartridge, do the following. Roll up the MT strip into a
curl ≈ Ø20 mm (for example, it can be rolled around your finger as shown in Figure 6а). Then
push it inside the cartridge (Figure 6b). Each subsequent roll is inserted inside the previous one.
To extract MT strips from the cartridge, do the following. Turn the roll of MT strips inside
the cartridge so that the butt end of the upper curl of the tape would appear opposite to the cut
of the cartridge (Figure 6c). Then pull the MT strip by its edge in the tangent direction towards
the cartridge circumference (Figure 6d).
