ABSTRACT:
A wire-shifting apparatus particularly suited for use in assembling wire or cable harnesses includes a pedestal portion having a plurality of individual, elongated wire guide members thereon. The wire guide members have a channel-like cross-section and some of the wire guide members are fixed in the position upon the pedestal portion, while others of the wire guide members are mounted on the pedestal portion so as to pivot about a fixed point so that upon urging by an actuator, the movable wire guides shift laterally in unison. The shifted wire guides then convey wires between two opposing connector elements in a manner such that selected wires are terminated at locations in one connector element which are removed one location from the other connector element.
