Abstract
An apparatus for inserting a thread between the testing clamps of a tensile strength testing apparatus has an insertion clamp which can travel vertically on a slide movable on a vertical rail which is also movable horizontally, whereby movement of the insertion clamp in orthogonal directions is possible. An automatic control mechanism is operable to command a drive arrangement for the insertion clamp to move the clamp along any desirable path which carries the thread to the required position in the testing apparatus.
