A pneumatic conveyor for transporting and locating a series of spark plug insulator and electrode assemblies in individual corresponding spark plug cells comprising a hollow pneumatic transfer line and opposed first and second pneumatic vacuum pumps disposed in the line and controlled first to propel an insulator and electrode assembly at high speed toward the downstream end of the line and then to decelerate the assembly such that the latter exits the downstream end by substantially the force of gravity. A placement hand receives successive assemblies from the transport line and is operative first to center a corresponding shell beneath the assembly and then to drop the assembly into the shell for swaging at a later work station.
