The present disclosure relates to the manufacture of electrical connections of the plug-and-socket type, and, more particularly, it relates to machines for assembling multi-wire contact sockets. A machine disclosed in the specification perform a complete operating cycle of assembling a multi-wire contact socket for a plug-and-socket connection and comprises an assembling mandrel mounted in a mandrel head carried by a rotary work table and a plurality of operation performing mechanisms mounted about this table, the mechanisms including those for applying the rings and the sleeves of the sockets to be, for step-by-step feeding and cutting of wires, for bending the upper end portions of the cut lengths of wire, for applying the end pieces onto the preassembled sockets and for inwardly offsetting the predetermined portions of the pre-assembled sockets. The assembling mandrel cooperates with all said mechanisms in succession, this interaction being effected and controlled by the motiondistributing mechanism of the machine.
