In the manufacture of an electric heater, means ( 24, 26 ) is provided for feeding and guiding a ribbon heating element ( 14 ) progressively into overlying edgewise relationship with a base ( 2 ). Means ( 6, 8 ) is provided for supporting the base ( 2 ) and for effecting relative motion between the base ( 2 ) and the feeding and guiding means ( 24, 26 ), such that motion of the base ( 2 ) is synchronised with feeding of the element ( 14 ) as it is fed and guided into the relationship with the base ( 2 ), to urge the heating element ( 14 ) towards the base ( 2 ) and cause an edge portion ( 22 ) of the heating element ( 14 ) to become embedded in the base ( 2 ).
