Abstract
An apparatus making it possible to fit retaining pins on a mandrel. The retaining pin arrives in the form of a continuous wire which is cut to the desired length by a wheel before being fitted in the mandrel. The end of the uncut retaining pin adjacent to the wheel is maintained in a gripper formed by two jaws. Simultaneously with the fitting of the cut retaining pin, a hole is made in the mandrel to permit the subsequent fitting of a retaining pin.
