Abstract
Wire feeding apparatus comprises pivotal feed wheels on axles which coact with fixed feed wheels on a drive shaft to feed wires therebetween. Each pivotal feed wheel is paired with a pivotal gear which meshes with a fixed gear paired to each fixed feed wheel so that all feed wheels are driven. Auxiliary feed wheels and gears driven by spur gears off the main drive shaft coact with auxiliary pivotal feed wheels and gears to provide a second level of wire feed. Entry wire guides diverge from a single plane to feed the two levels and exit wire guides converge to a single plane from which the wires emerge.
