Abstract

A pay-out stand for supply reels utilized in manufacturing cables particularly light waveguide cables having a basket-like structure mounted for rotation around a horizontal axis with carrier members extending parallel to the axis adjacent the periphery of the basket-like members. The supply reels are situated on the inside of each carrier part, preferably in pairs, and the carrier parts are spaced so that access of the supply reels can be had from the outside of the stand to enable splicing the lead from a backup reel to a waveguide of a feed reel which is feeding a lead out of the pay-out stand.
