	No one has mentioned this so may be common knowledge, but the easiest
way to wind fine wire from a spool is to place the spole on one end and
let the wire spiral off around the other.  This way there is no inertia
involved except that of the wire itself, and much less change of
breaking and tangling.  Of course, the end must be smooth and free of
snags.
