Abstract: An image motif is transfer printed onto a decor film made of an organic material having a texture surface with ridges and valleys. A stack is formed on a supporting surface by placing the decor film, a motif carrier, and a pressure transfer mat, in that order, on the supporting surface. The motif carrier and the pressure transfer mat are sufficiently flexibly yielding for intimately contacting all surfaces of the decor film when heat and pressure are applied to the stack. The pressure is applied through the pressure transfer mat or in a heatable press.

Abstract: Cable harnesses are manufactured with a so-called cable head arranged on a able laying carriage. The cable head is controlled by an electronic data processor and continuously lays a cable running off a coil or spool, about pins on a cable laying table or pallet. A plurality of such coils or spools are mounted in a cable magazine arranged for cooperation with said cable laying table. Any one of the cables on the coils may be drawn into the cable head which is equipped with cable marking tools and with cable buffer tools. The cable being laid is marked and for this purpose it is "buffered" to such an extent, that a dwell time is obtained sufficient for the marking operation. The buffering takes place first to form a loop. The cable length stored in the loop is used up during the marking so as not to interrupt the feed advance of the cable during its marking.
