Abstract: A machine is provided to make possible many precision operations on wood and some metals on a miniature scale for miniaturists, modelers and hobbyists. Said machine, as seen in FIG. 25 comprises a base,200, an x-y table,212,224, a y only table,212, a stationary table,212 (when locked) an elevator 225 or z axis mechanism and a modular over-arm assembly 250 for accurately positioning and holding standard hand tools such as a hand drill, hand grinder, moto-tool, flexible shaft type tools and heat gun to perform operations otherwise impossible with such tools.

Abstract: A technique is described for completely and positively wiring components into mass produced machines, such as washing machines, dryers and the like. The subject technique encompasses improved contacts, connectors and a wiring harness all of which are individually and collectively adopted to provide a readily ascertainable positive visual indication of a full mating condition and which will prevent further assembly of components if not initially fully assembled in the proper relationship. Each subassembly of a connector and related component includes keying means allowing only correct assembly and mounting in the machine plus visual indicators which verify correct assembly at each step. The connectors preferably have housings which can be produced in great lengths and cut to the desired shorter lengths. These housings also include strain relief means for the associated conductors and may be hermaphroditic.

Abstract: Stamped and formed connecting device comprises a pair of plate-like members which are connected to each other by integral straps which extend between corresponding ends of the plate-like members conductor-receiving slots extend inwardly from the corresponding ends of the plate-like members so that a conductor can be moved laterally of its axis between the straps and into the slots. Integral retaining fingers extend from the opposed edges of the straps and between the plate-like members transversely of an inserted conductor to prevent movement of the conductor from the slots.
