Welding Rod placement in the Quiver question 3

[wdavidchris]

I recently met a client who was inspecting our workshop. One of his issues is that he found that the welding rod (E7016) in the quiver was placed upside down. In his view, the handle portion of the welding rod should be on the top of the quiver (and the end that comes first into contact to the workpiece / pipe should be at the bottom of the quiver (we are talking about quiver placed vertically). I think his logic is that the heat from the quiver is concentrated at the bottom of the quiver. Is there any requirements for this in the industry or in any standards?
