WIRE SORTING

摘要

Apparatus for repositioning and adding or removing individual wires of a series of wires extending longitudinally in side-by-side relation in a row comprising a guide block formed with a cruciform slot defining a guide path and wire escapement; means to move the wires between the guide path and escapement and means to move the guide path along the row to align the escapement with a predetermined wire position in the row. In a method and apparatus for positioning wires, wires are fed from a supply through tubes having fixed wire entry ends and wire exit ends movable to vary the position of the leading ends of the wires.
