Abstract
The status of the construction of the KLOE Drift Chamber is reviewed. With its 4 m diameter, it will be the biggest drift chamber ever built . The stringing of 52 000 wires is a titanic effort: details are given about the semiautomatic system, the quality tests on wires and the mo nitoring of end-plates deformations.
