An automatic crimper (6) operates in known manner to divide leads (1) into groups (1a,1b,1c,etc), before crimping one end of the leads to branching connectors and crimping the other ends of all the leads to a common connector (3) so as to form a multiple harness (4). Subsequently, the crimper drives the branching connectors to travel in parallel and in unison with the common connector (3) along a pair of delivery rails (7) until discharged from the rails (7). The branching connectors are caused to take a position close to the common connector (3) so that leads in each group are folded double, then the leads are gathered to form a compact bundle (1') before being tied with tapes (5) which serve as an easily breakable binding material. <IMAGE> |
