Here is a pallet of aviation O2 cylinders recently removed from scrapped Navy Lockheed SP 2-H antisubmarine patrol aircraft. I have many hours as a crewman on these aircraft. Notice they are wire wrapped, the wire was removed when used for diving. Dr. Sam hit the nail on the head.

OK, silly question here, why the wire? Is that to control shrapnel in the event that they get perforated?
