Abstract
This specification discloses simplified wire payout apparatus for paying out wire directly from a box in which the wire is shipped, thus eliminating the necessity of providing mechanical payout equipment such as has been required on utility service trucks. For light-weight and low cost, a corrugated paperboard carton is used as a shipping container; and provision is made for paying out the wire without removing a spool, on which the wire is wound, from the box. The spool is preferably also made of corrugated paperboard.
