The same methods are still used today .  Nothing better has been invented for such low-quantity production associated with high quality and reliability.

This was on Facebook last night (ahd was originally from Shorpy's).

The description was " 1942. Boeing aircraft plant, Seattle. Production of
B-17 'Flying Fortress' routing wires"

I've often wondered how they made the wiring harnesses.   For this
particular section, metal studs are spaced for length accuracy.
