presses, whereby 4 ^as die enters the incision and thereby the clamp located between die and die is deformed and pressed against the wire. The die is divided into two parts along its longitudinal axis. In one embodiment, a shear member is movably arranged between the two parts so that the wires between the shear member and the adjacent edges of the die parts can be cut. According to another embodiment, the two die parts are movably arranged with respect to one another, and the wires can be cut off between the edges of these parts. Since the wires are cut off within the two ends of the die, the cut wire ends are inevitably spaced apart in the axial direction in the clamp. The clamp must therefore be so long that it encompasses both wire ends, while these are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. The length of the clamp can, however, be reduced if the wire ends are pressed onto the clamp in an overlapping manner.

According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a method of cutting a pair of wires and a U-shaped electrical & connection circuit to the to print the cut ends of the wires, aa-

The need for a delayed movement connection between the die 68 and the shear members 136UIiC ₁ 137 is avoided because the wire parts can remain between the ends 160 and 167 of the bracket arms 158 and 166 while the plates 148 and 150 move upwards (Figure 11 ) after trimming has been carried out. The plates 148 and 150 can move upwards without a simultaneous movement of the wires because the slots formed by the ends 460 and 167 on the one hand and the plates 148 and 150 on the other hand are of sufficient length.
