[CAUT] Large wire spool?

[Nichols]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
Jim,
    At the plant, we have shelves on the wall behind the pianos in the 
stringing room. The shelves have sections (about 10 inches tall) of 
Sono-tube concrete casting forms. Like used for pillars, posts, and cat 
houses. About 15" dia. In the section of tube, is a wooden wheel with a few 
upright dowels. A notch in the side of the tube allows the wire to spool 
out, while the wheel rotates in the tube. Snap-on pipe insulation protects 
the rim of the piano as the wire is dragged off the shelf to be used. No, I 
didn't invent it, but I think it's slick!

later,
Guy
