The one time I got to visit an actual manufacturing facility not far from 
here,  that was how they did it.  They had one machine with a bunch of reels 
on it (I think 8),  which pulled different parts to put on to one reel,  and 
that one was used,  with the required parts in proper sequence,  on the 
machine that did the actual P&P.  That last one was pretty awesome to 
watch...!
