Abstract
Method and apparatus embrace implanting electrical conductor wires (16) into grooves (38) in a structural element (30) of an apparatus unit (10) to form a harness (14) for power and signal distribution in said unit and thereafter terminating the wires by terminals (70) and adding components (82) to the structural element. Wire placement features rolling of the wire into grooves of the structural element with grooves provided in tooling to extend wires along the structural element. Rolling is achieved along paths extending in X and Y directions. The structural element bearing wires, terminals, and connectors and components is then mechanically secured to the apparatus unit to form a structural part thereof.
