Rolled nail strips packed without spools

A coiled composite of connector plate stock from which may be cut sheet metal connector plates of the type having integrally struck teeth projecting therefrom comprising:

• first and second coiled lengths of connector plate stock in juxtaposition and said teeth of each said length of connector stock being essentially completely intermeshed with said teeth of the other said length of connector stock so that outer surfaces of said composite of connector stock have no teeth projecting therefrom;
• said first and second coiled lengths being free of any winding spool and said first and second lengths being engaged in said coil composite such that at least a portion of said second length forms the innermost portion of the coiled composite and conforms to the configuration of a hub on which said coiled composite is formed, said first length of connector stock lies on the portion of said second length which has achieved the configuration defined by such hub, and the relationship between said first and second lengths remain the same throughout the wound coiled composite so that there is no jamming between the intermeshing teeth of said first and second lengths.
