Strip feeding mechanism for a terminal applicator comprises a feed pawl which is mounted on an oscillatory pawl carrier so that oscillation of the pawl carrier results in to and from movement of the feed pawl. The pawl carrier is coupled by a torque responsive coupling to an oscillatory shaft which in turn is coupled through a gear train to a rack on the applicator ram. Reciprocation of the ram results in oscillation of the shaft which in turn results in oscillation of the pawl carrier. The amplitude of oscillation of the pawl carrier, and therefore the limits of the feed stroke of the feed pawl, are adjusted by means of a fixed stop which is on the applicator frame and movable stops which are on the pawl carrier. The torque responsive coupling permits overtravel of the shaft relative to the pawl carrier.
