To facilitate the automation of the entire process of the production of wiring looms, including the setting up of the loom board prior to the production of a particular batch the present invention provides a loom board base (1) adapted to receive and releasably hold a pluraliry of guide pins (23). The base includes a table (2) comprising an upper and lower parallel wire mesh sheet frames (10, 11). A pair of actuators (14) are actuable to separate these frames to release pins previously held on the table with shaft portions thereof projecting through the upper frame and terminating in pointed end portions (25) held by layers, of resilient material (21, 22) of the lower frame (11). The table (2) is rotatably mounted on a frame (3) for inversion to permit the released pins to fall under gravity from the table.
