Abstract
When metal clad cables are being installed, it is important that they be grounded to protect personnel in the event the cables comes in contact with an exposed electrical circuit in the building spaces. This invention provides a means for grounding the cable, and the grounding means are part of a spool assembly on which the cable is wound at the time that it is sold. The connection for grounding a cable is reliable and convenient, and the fact that it is part of the spool on which the cable is originally supplied to the user, makes it possible to keep the cost lower than presently used grounding apparatus of the prior art.
