Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method for producing cable. The method includes applying an insulative coating to each of a plurality of conductors to form a plurality of insulated conductors. The method further includes taking up the plurality of insulated conductors in a twisting system to twist the plurality of insulated conductors together and apply a first portion of a desired twist to the plurality of insulated conductors. The method further includes paying off the plurality of insulated conductors from the twisting system to further twist the plurality of insulated conductors together and apply a second portion of a desired twist to the plurality of insulated conductors to form a twisted plurality of insulated conductors.

Abstract: A clamping apparatus for holding a louvered blind assembly while applying a decorative graphic thereto includes a pair of rectangular frames hingedly connected together for pivoting movement between an open position for receiving slats of the blind assembly, and a closed position in which the slats of the blind assembly are clamped therebetween. A slip resistant pad material is disposed on opposing faces of the frames for providing a soft, slip resistant surface for engaging the slats. First and second pairs of brackets are positioned at first and second ends of the clamping apparatus, respectively, for providing shelves for holding portions of the blind assembly that are not clamped between the top and bottom frames. Locating holes are formed in the brackets for aligning the clamping apparatus within a machine that applies the decorative graphic. A laser is used for etching and perforating graphic images and trimming blinds to length.
