Abstract

We describe the equipment and procedures developed and employed for the wiring in mass production of the forward/backward muon drift chambers of the L3 experiment. A computer-controlled machine is used to stretch simultaneously all wires of one drift cell to the required tension. After manual insertion of the wire group into the chamber, another computer-controlled device is used to measure the tension of each wire, thus providing an immediate quality check.
