A method of developing one or more coil groups of electrically conductive wire in a coil group accommodating device such as coil insertion tooling. A coil turn-forming assembly is positioned with a snap-out winding form plate in alignment with a corresponding turn-gauging step and engaging a coil group accommodating device adjacent a turn receiving slot. Turns of wire are generated about the winding form plate and turn-gauging step and received in the turn receiving slot during the generation operation. Thereafter, other snap-out winding form plates are sequentially positioned in alignment with a corresponding turn-gauging step and engaging the coil group accommodating device adjacent corresponding turn receiving slots. The turn generating operation is repeated using each winding form plate and turn-gauging step, with the generated turns being received in the corresponding turn receiving slot during that generation operation.
