Abstract Method and apparatus for manufacturing a wiring harness. Apparatus mass terminates wires to an automatically fed strip of terminals then mass inserts terminated wires into cavities in a connector housing. A shuttle having tele- scoping wire guide tubes and a wire clamp reciprocates to deliver wires with leading ends in a straight array axially at a first fixed spacing to an operating zone and then to an insertion station. The telescoping tubes collapse to extrude leading ends of wires into the operating zone where the wires are deflected laterally of their axes various amounts and rolled into grooves in a template which restores the leading ends to a straight array at a second fixed spacing for termination to a strip of terminals at the second fixed spacing. Shuttle then retreats as tubes expand to draw in terminated wires, and then advances to insert terminals on leading ends into cavities at first fixed spacing in a connector housing. Clamp 34 is released and shuttle retreats over stationary wires until wires are exposed to strip and shear blades remote from housing.
