Abstract
Apparatus for continuously and automatically molding sockets onto an insulated flexible single pole cable comprising a deflecting mechanism for forming a series of bights in the cable, and a transfer guide for transferring the bights to a pair of spaced apart circular supports. The supports are rotated about a common axis and the various steps involved in making the sockets are performed at each bight as the two supports are intermittently rotated.
