Abstract
Apparatus comprises a heater which introduces hot air into an elongate duct via a tube to an aperture midway between the open ends of the duct. The duct has parallel slots in opposite walls thereof which extend between said ends in the plane of a conveyor which grips wire leads and transports them laterally so terminated ends lie in the duct. Heat shrink tubing prepositioned on the end of lead may be positioned to protrude from the slot so not exposed to hot air in the duct which prevents shrinkage of tubing over the terminated end.
