Abstract
A container of the type known as a station wire box, from its application to dispensing wire for installation of telephone equipment on a user's premises, or station, is provided with an insert centrally located in one face of the box, for smooth manual dispensing of the wire, and perforations on the reverse side of the box. The perforations define a first area removable to form a combined access opening and carrying handle opening. The access opening allows access to ties binding a coil of wire, to remove the ties, and lead an end of the coil of wire through the insert. The reverse side also includes perforations defining areas adjoining the access opening which can be removed to form a circular opening in the box, equivalent in size to the circular opening in a conventional station wire box, so that the box can be used as a conventional station wire box.
