Abstract
A wire harness is produced by attaching terminals to one of the respective ends of a plurality of wires and gathering the other ends and attaching a single terminal thereto. The plurality of insulated wires are intermittently fed by respective predetermined lengths along predetermined feed paths, and then cut to respective predetermined lengths to provide remaining wires and cut wire sections. The insulation on the forward ends of the remaining wires and on the rear ends of the cut wire sections, next to the cut just made, are stripped. Terminals are crimped to insulation-stripped ends of the remaining wires. The cut wire sections are transferred so that their insulation-stripped ends are gathered in one place and then the insulation-stripped ends of the cut wire sections are trued-up and a single terminal is crimped thereto to form a single terminal for the plurality of cut wire sections.
