Abstract: A rack for elongated rod-like members including a plurality of spaced substantially parallel frames mounted on a base, with each frame consisting of columns and beams for providing a plurality of openings, spaced rollers extending between columns of each frame behind said beams for supporting the rod-like members, with the beams having inclined surfaces for guiding the rod-like members into associated openings, and the beams having upper and lower edge portions so that if a bundle of rod-like members tilts during loading, the upper edge of the beam on the frame at the entry portion will bite into the underside of the bundle and the lower edge of another beam at a higher elevation within the rack will bite into the upper side of the bundle to hold the bundle in position.
