WIRING HARNESSES AND HARNESS COMPONENTS
A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring loom, is a string of cables and/or wires which transmit informational signals or operating currents (energy). The cables are bound together by clamps, cable ties, cable lacing, sleeves, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a combination thereof.
Each electric wire in a wiring harness plays a different role, such as taking electric power from power supplies, sending sensor signals, and communicating operational information.
Wiring harnesses are important parts, comparable to nerves or blood vessels in the human body, in supporting the operational foundation of cars or equipment.

Berck Changes Banks!
Berck has recently changed bankers to HSBC after 64 years with our old provider.
The main area of our growth over the last 12 months has been in export markets and our old bank was not in a position to support us going forward. HSBC have proved to be proactive in helping our business and were instrumental in getting us involved with the British-American Business Council. The decision to change banks after such a long period was a difficult one but it has proved to be exactly right for the business as we now enjoying the benefits of a truly global organisation.

Brass 'side sockets' as used in 'Euro' power cords for domestic appliances
These were manufactured by our customer utilizing a manually indexing rotary table featuring 8 cutting and forming operations with the addition of secondary tapping and screwing stations. With a view to simplifying the process we used our Rockwell 28 multislide press, which, following tool design and manufacture, was able to produce 80 components per minute in one efficient stage. So, along with shorter lead times and superior quality, a substantial saving was passed on to our customer.
Phosphor bronze 'brush contact' an integral part in electric motors for automotive rear wiper assemblies
Following prolonged use, the domed form area of this component was prone to splitting. We enhanced the customers original design using a bespoke formed rivet as a contact face. This vastly improved longevity and prevented failure. Cost was a factor thus preventing further operations. Our answer, the flexible, efficient 'multi-slide' press. Tooling was engineered allowing the contact to be cut and formed allowing copper rivets to be 'bowl fed' to a precision forming die. Rivets were inserted, their backs swaged, optimizing adhesion to the brush contact. The products life was extended a hundred fold.
Transfer of 40 progression tools
One of our largest customers experienced problems when their supplier unexpectedly went into liquidation. As a first tier supplier to the Automotive Industry they were under the threat of costly line stoppages. We assisted by collecting 40 progression tools from their old supplier, and over 2 weeks, each component was assessed and sampled with its corresponding I.S.I.R

Birmingham City's 'Big Flag'
I was very proud to see B.C.F.C's 'Big Flag' surf the supporters at Wembley in all it's glory. Monies were donated by the club along with a very kind personal donation from Mike Wiseman. The supporters donated the balance which gives a sence of involvement and I like to see the look on the fans faces when the flag is used at match days. I even heard that 'Big Eck' himself likes it !

I had a very enjoyable day although I did get lost on the underground once or twice !
