ABSTRACT:
Means and method are provided for conveniently breaking out wires from a wire bundle in a wiring harness during the fabrication or layout stage, there being a wrapper having two parallel rows of holes punched therein and a specially designed comb having teeth with detent ends which are inserted through the first row of holes in the wrapper. The wire bundle is then passed alongside these teeth with the desired strands being broken out between the teeth, and subsequent to the breakout process the wrapper is folded over the wire bundle and the second row of holes engaged securely over the detent ends of the comb teeth. Both sides of the wrapper are provided with indicia identifying the origin and the destination of wires passing through particular teeth pairs, and a resilient block which temporarily detains the comb and wrapper on the layout board during the fabrication process also utilizes a coded arrangement of upright pins which cooperate with coded holes punched in the wrapper to ensure that only the proper wrapper type is positioned at any of the breakout stations on the layout board.
