Ah. So maybe this might be of interest?

I was thinking you'd want something on a smaller 
scale, not for industrial production, but the 
machine at the URL above looks quite a lot like 
the one in the webbed pages you mention.

I was just thinking of something with wooden 
pegs, kinda like a hat rack. You'd have to wrap 
the ribbon around the pegs to get the effect, and 
be quick about it, but it might work just fine on 
a small scale.
