Permanent insulators made from known insulator material (e.g., polyethylene terephalate) are used in lieu of temporary fiber wedges, even though such wedges are not axially centered in core slots, without requiring the performance of manual labor in order to axially reposition the "final" wedges along the core slots. By use of one preferred form of a disclosed apparatus, previously positioned wedges are repositioned axially along core slots automatically and generally contemporaneously with the performance of some other necessary manufacturing process to avoid the expenditure of additional incremental time associated with such repositioning step. Equipment usable for other preselected manufacturing operations may be used in the automated practice of the invention. In one specific exemplification, previously positioned wedges are repositioned along core slots during a previously known wire moving, wire shaping, or wedge setting operation. The equipment is provided with means for axially repositioning previously placed wedges relative to core slots while such apparatus is being used for also carrying out another preselected manufacturing operation.
