The small roll 2 is pressed downwards at its ends by roller bearings 11 carried by blocks 10 which are fed downwards as the rolling proceeds, the larger roll 3 being mounted in fixed bearings. The tendency of the small roll to bend upwards or in an oblique direction is counteracted by roller bearings 8 on the underside of the roll and outside the bearings 11, the bearings 8 being pulled upwards or in an oblique direction by hydraulic rams 6. The roll 2 is pressed against its bearings 11 by roller bearings 13 carried by hydraulic rams 15. The ends of the roll 2 are fed downwards independently to allow them to be adjusted for inequalities in the billet and to keep the billet centrally between the housings 50. The feed is effected by the pistons 21 of double-acting hydraulic cylinders 20, and is controlled by angularly adjusting cam-tracks 29 on which run rollers 28 carried by crossheads 26 on the pistons. The cam-tracks are mounted on worm-wheels 30 rotated by a divided worm shaft 32, so that the cam-tracks may be independently rotated by spoke handles 33 on the two parts of the worm shaft, or the two ends of the roll may be fed downwards together by rotating both parts of the worm shaft by means of a central spoke handle 35 carrying pawls (not shown) engaging ratchet-wheels on the handles 33. The billet is kept in the vertical plane of the rolls by guide-rollers 4 mounted on arms 5 on rock-shafts 41 at the front and back of the rolls. The rollers 4 are moved outwards or inwards by rotating screws 43 which engage nuts pivoted on slides 46 carried by arms 48 on the rock-shafts. The arms 5, 48 on each rock-shaft are connected by a brace 49. The Provisional Specification states that the small roller may also be positively driven.
