1. A method of arranging flexible, insulated conductors of a bundle of unaligned conductors having stripped ends into an aligned condition prior to soldering said stripped ends to associated connectors, said method including drawing said conductors through the spaces between parallel teeth of each of two non-metallic combs, said combs being disposed one behind the other as a front comb and a rear comb with a space between them, said teeth of said rear comb being broader at their bases than at their tips so as to narrow the spaces between them, said conductors being so drawn until the junction between the stripped end of each and its insulation portion is located just within the space between said combs in said aligned condition with said stripped ends lying between associated teeth of said front comb and clamping said conductors in such position by pressing their insulation portions down into the narrow spaces between the broadened portions of the teeth of said rear comb.
