out-basket
Completed paperwork holder
An out-basket is a tray or container on a desk for documents that have been processed and are ready to be sent out or filed—the counterpart to an in-basket.
The term appears in management training exercises where participants handle simulated paperwork: The assessment included an out-basket exercise.
Now largely obsolete as physical office equipment.
