ABSTRACT Apparatus (10) draws a continuous length of shrink tubing (23) from a reel (22) cuts off a section (6), and advances it onto the terminated end (9) of a lead (5) carried by an adjacent conveyor (40). This is accomplished by shear blades (94, 95) integral with jaws (86, 88) which close on the end of the tubing (23) to sever a section (6) and contain it and shape it between the jaws (86, 88). The jaws (86, 88) move vertically in a plate (85) which is then advanced horizontally toward the lead (5). A feed clamp (102) which descends with the jaws (86, 88) draws the continuous length (23) forward, then releases vertically as the jaws (86, 88) depart and a stationary clamp (112) grips the tubing while the jaws (86, 88) and clamp (102) return over the tubing (23) for the next shearing and advance operation. Above motions are effected by levers (66, 74, 78, 82) and a slide (127) driven by followers (145, 141, 143, 147, 139) riding in cam grooves (144), 140, 142, 146, 138) on discs (70, 73) carried by a single shaft (71). The end of the lead (5) with tubing section (6) thereon is transported laterally through a hot air duct (34) type heater having slots (36, 37) which permit passage of the lead (5) therethrough. 9504
