An apparatus is provided for performing an operation on a plurality of electrical cords with a pair of terminal blades attached to each cord. The apparatus comprises a plurality of carriers for receiving a plurality of electrical cords with a pair of terminal blades attached to each cord. Each of the carriers comprises a frame member having first and second sides opposed to each other. The first side has a plurality of pairs of recesses therein, each of the pairs of recesses receiving a pair of the terminal blades and securing members secure the terminal blades in the recesses. The second side has a plurality of cord inserting grooves, each of the grooves receiving one of the cords therein and a cord chuck retains the cord in the groove. The cord chuck is automatically operated. First, second, third and fourth side conveyors transport the carrier to various positions wherein manufacturing operations are performed at each of these positions. The first, second, third and fourth side conveyors are each driven independently and are positioned with respect to one another to form a rectangle.
