Abstract
Cable is wound on to a spool (2) comprising a longitudinally extending barrel (3) and a flange (4) extending from the barrel at one end thereof. At an ejection station the spool (2) is separated from the wound cable to leave a coil of cable (1). A removable flange (5), of a larger diameter than the spool flange (4), is placed over the barrel of the spool prior to winding. Subsequent removal of the spool (2) leaves a coil of cable (1) resting on the flange (5). An ejection station for separating the spool (12) from the wound cable is also described.
