Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed which includes a carriage having mounted thereon tooling for trimming wires and inserting trimmed wires into electrical contacts successively along an electrical connector mounted on an anvil. A stepping motor drive transports and repeatedly stops the carriage and the tooling successively in alignment with the multiple contacts preparatory to insertion of corresponding trimmed wires therein. The tooling is quickly replaceable and follows along a reference surface of the connector for positive alignment with the contacts.
