Abstract
A tool for use with a full rotational freedom, substantially zero friction electrical contact assembly of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,068,909 comprising a notched rod of a diameter less than the normal concentric gap between the conductor rings, for receiving conductor loops in hanging relation thereon, the rod being mounted in a support base which includes a guide means for radially and axially positioning the rod within a preassembly eccentric gap between the normally concentric conductor rings. Upon closing the eccentric gap to its normal concentric relation, the loops are captured by the conductor rings and the notched rod is withdrawn.
