I always straighten the wire using a 14-roller straightener. Here is a picture of one similar to mine from <http://www.read-eurowire.com/sjogren.cfm> If you google for "wire straightener" you will find several American suppliers. When I bought mine 23 years ago I remember it cosy over $800, and I remember that because I thought it grossly excessive. I am sure you can get one on America for far less. This sort of device is used throughout the wire industry, so there is no re-inventing to do. JD -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
