<p>An electrical harness (2) comprising a plurality of harness subassemblies (S) is assembled by locating the subassembly leading ends (4) of all of the subassemblies (S) in a staging zone (16). The subassemblies (S) are moved in succession along a transporting path which extends away from the staging zone (16) in a succession which locates the subassembly leading ends (4) of the several subassemblies (S) at the required locations along the length of the harness (2). Bindings (14) for the conductors (7) in the harness subassemblies (S) are applied where required. A fully automatic apparatus is disclosed for carrying out the process comprising individual transporters (T) for each of the harness subassemblies (S) which move the subassemblies (S) individually along the transporting path.</p> |
