Richard, to attach the wires they'd use a wire bonding machine, same as for producing integrated circuits or transistors. It would have a stereo microscope and a manual positioning mechanism, so the operator would move to the right spot and then move a lever to attach the wire. Diagrams of a wire bonding machine are here. From what I read, automatic wire bonding machines became popular in the 1980s.
