The idea was sent into the magazine by one R.L.G. of Chelmsford, who pointed out that it was often necessary to unwind a long length of “lighting flex,” which was apparently in common use in Britain for home lighting circuits. But he points out that any amateur who has attempted this learns that it becomes tedious after a few feet. With the device shown here, it was an easy matter. You just pull the wire taut, and start twisting (usually clockwise). In just a few minutes, the wires will separate. It is necessary to move back slowly, as the wires get longer when unraveled.
