Abstract
A laying reel for coiling wire has a generally spiral laying tube generally centered on and rotatable about an axis and having offset from the axis a tangentially directed output end. The wire to be coiled extends through the tube and exits the output end thereof. A brake shoe at the output end is engageable with the wire extending therefrom. An actuator urges the brake shoe against the wire and thereby brakes the wire as it exits the output end.
