Abstract
An ultimate product which is a package of coiled line is disclosed. The package includes the coiled line exteriorly of a demountable spool. The demountable spool is ideally formed by two members, each identical to the other, and interfitting with each other in order to provide support of the coil at a spacing of 90.degree.. A companion to the invention of the line package, is the method of winding the line on the spool which comprises supporting between the four support members of the demountable spool in an arcuate fashion, or its equivalent, those portions of the line which are intermediate the support members of the demountable spool. After the demountable spool has been totally wound or coiled with the line, the arcuate support portion or its equivalent is removed, and the package of line remains with its essential annular coil on the demountable spool.
