Abstract:
A machine for straightening a wire lead or leads of a device comprises first and second opposing jaws affixed to a base. The first jaw and second jaw, when meshed, exert lateral straightening forces on the leads, and a slot disposed near the base of the leads is provided to prevent the fracture of the leads during the straightening operation and this slot also aligns the leads when there are more than one.
