A work piece 10 with projecting terminals 16, 17 and 18 on which are wrapped loose turns of wire 19, 20 and 21 is advanced into and held between arms of a yoke 30. Upper ends of the terminals are positioned between jaws 36, 37 and 38. A cam plate 49 is initially moved by fluid cylinders 53 and 54 to move V-shaped cam surfaces 48 against the jaws which partially close about the terminals. Next, fluid cylinders 65 and 66 are operated to move a slide 60 on which the jaws are mounted so that the now partially closed jaws engage and compact the loose wraps of wire against the work piece. Finally, the yoke 30 is withdrawn to permit stationary knockout pins 76 to dislodge the work piece into a discharge chute 79.
