1. A template comprising:
- a base member having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a station, having a pair of straight flanges forming a straight channel, at least one of the flanges having a discontinuity medially along the flange'"'"'s length, the station attached to the top surface of the base member such that the station is in direct contact with the top surface and the station can be positioned in various locations on the top surface and in a variety of orientations with respect to the base member; and
wherein a wiring harness made from a plurality of individual wiring runs, is assembled within the channel formed by the flanges and at least one of the individual wiring runs protrude through the discontinuity located on at least one of the flanges and such that after the wiring harness is assembled within the channel, the wiring harness is removed from the channel.

9. A template comprising:
-
a base member having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a first station, having a first pair of straight flanges forming a straight first channel, the first station attached to the top surface of the base member such that the first station is in direct contact with the top surface and the station can be positioned in various locations on the top surface and in a variety of orientations with respect to the base member;
a second station, having a second pair of straight flanges forming a straight second channel, the second station attached to the top surface of the base member in spaced apart relationship with respect to the first station and such that the second station is in direct contact with the top surface and the station can be positioned in various locations on the top surface and in a variety of orientations with respect to the base member;
at least one discontinuity medially located on the first pair of flanges or the second pair of flanges; and
wherein a wiring harness made from a plurality of individual wiring runs, is assembled within the first channel formed by the first pair of flanges and the second channel formed by the second pair of flanges and at least one of the individual wiring runs protrude through the at least one discontinuity and such that after the wiring harness is assembled within the channels, the wiring harness is removed from the channels. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
