Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for manufacturing cable forms of the kind used, for example, in relay sets. The machine is fully automatic insofar as the cables are formed at least to the stage where each wire is terminated with the insulation stripped from the ends, the ends being arranged such that when the manufactured cable form is placed on the relay set or other apparatus the wire ends are in the optimum position for connection to the terminals of the apparatus. The machine comprises a holding table slidable along a longitudinal frame and supporting a plurality of holding clutches simulating the configuration of terminals which, in use, the wires will be connected. The holding clutches firmly hold the ends of wires being used to make the cable form. A rotary indexing head is mounted above the table and is adapted to actuate any one of a plurality of different wires into an operating position wherein it may be introduced into a holding clutch.
