- 1 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for automatically making harnesses such as those used for electrically interconnecting a plurality of spaced-apart, separate connection points. Insulated wire is fed through a press position where terminals are attached to the wire con- ductor. The insulation is displaced from a portion of the wire where a terminal is to be attached, thereby baring the conductor. A terminal is brought adjacent the bared conductor from a supply of terminals and crimped to the conductor. A wire feeding mechanism advances the wire so that the section having a terminal crimped thereto is removed from the press position and a new portion is brought into the press position for the attachment of another terminal. The automatic process is repeated until a pre-determined number of terminals are attached to the conductor at which time the wire can be severed to complete the manufacture of the harness. The apparatus has a control means which is programmable so that one of a variety of harness configurations can be set up and manu- factured repetitively. The control means also enables the apparatus to operate in different modes such as one-step, one-cycle or continuous-cycle.
