Abstract
We describe the equipment and procedures developed and employed for th e wiring in mass production of the forward/backward muon drift chamber s of the L3 experiment. A computer-controlled machine is used to stret ch simultaneously all wires of one drift cell to the required tension. After manual insertion of the wire group into the chamber, another co mputer-controlled device is used to measure the tension of each wire, thus providing an immediate quality check.
