     @paul It's not just the cardboard cord holder design that's fascinating; it's that there's probably a bizarre bespoke machine tool that takes in cardboard stock for the holders and cables at one end, and pumps out neatly wound spools at the other. And my brain melts when I try to imagine the process.
