A wire container 10 includes wire control apparatus 100 mounted at the upper part of an inner core 25 and provided with a plurality of fingers 140 mounted on a ring 110 and diverter apparatus in the form of tie-down wires 120 for preventing the wire from entering into the space between the ring 110 and the core 25. The fingers 140 subtend an arc of slightly greater than 30.degree. and extend into contact with the outer drum member 20 to insure that the wire 35 is forced against the inner surface of the drum as the wire is removed. The stiffness of the fingers 140 is such that the wire cannot by itself uncoil and exit the drum, but it not so stiff that the resistance to wire movement from the drum adversely affects the wire feeding process.
