Abstract
Wire which has been wound upon a spool or into a coil using a flyer which imparts a twist to the wound wire is unwound from the spool or coil by being withdrawn over an end of the spool or coil in a direction which neutralizes a twist and results in the unwound wire being twist-free.

In a process for subjecting to further processing a wire, rope, single strand cable, multiple strand cable or the like in which a twist was imparted when wound one of in a coil and on a spool by means of a flyer, the step of unwinding the wire over an end of the one coil or spool in a substantially axial direction with respect to the one coil or spool while maintaining the coil or spool stationary against rotation and withdrawing the unwound wire in a substantially axial direction such that the twist in the wire which occurred during winding is reversed and the untwisted wire can then be subjected to further processing.
