The terminals are fed, in strip form, along a feed track to a workstation by the intermittent feed mechanism that retracts away from the strip of terminals during the return stroke. The feed mechanism includes a support member that is threaded onto an adjustable coupling that is attached to and carried by the piston rod of a linear actuator. A pawl is pivotally attached at one end to the support member while the other end has a tooth that engages the strip of terminals for feeding. Another linear actuator is attached to the support member and is arranged to pivot the pawl into engagement with the strip of terminals during feeding thereof and out of engagement during the return stroke.
