A storage drum (62) of densely packed welding wire, said storage drum comprising a bottom, an upper lip spaced axially apart from said bottom, and at least one side wall extending between said bottom and said upper lip, whereas a continuous length of welding wire is placed within said storage drum forming a plurality of axially adjacent layers, each of said axially adjacent layers being comprised of a number of wire loops having a nominal diameter forming a selected layer density, and each of said axially adjacent layers having a layer density substantially different than said axially adjacent layers immediately adjacent thereto. <IMAGE> |
