Figs. 1 and 1a placed end to end show a plan of the machine. To load a new tube blank 32 into the machine, air pressure is admitted to cylinder 113, which clamps the jaws 106 around the previously worked tube. Air pressure is then admitted to chamber 90 whereby the piston 89 retracts the mandrel 73. Air pressure is then admitted to chamber 68, Fig. 3, whereby the pawl 59 is disengaged from the ratchet 58. The motor 71 is then started to turn the gears 55, 56 rapidly to retract the crosshead 47 sufficiently to allow room for a new tube. Then air pressure admitted to raise piston 43, Fig. 5, whereby lifters 36 raise a blank which has rolled down the frame 31 to position when pressure admitted to rear side of piston 89 pushes the mandrel through the blank and into the old tube as well. The clamp jaws 106 are now released, the pawl 59 is re-engaged with its ratchet 58 by admitting pressure to piston 67 through pipes 69 and then starting the machine. The crosshead 47 is fed forward by feed screws 48 rotated from the motor 71 through the ratchet 59 brought into action by cam 63 so that the tube is advanced step by step through the rolls 6 which are reciprocated along with their carriage 2 by cranks 19 the crank shaft 20 of which is driven from an electric motor 24. The roll shafts are provided with gearing 26 whereby the rolls are driven as they are reciprocated along the fixed rack 27. A clutch 25 may be provided between the motor 24 and the roll drive. The rolls may be simply segmental rockers. The roll pass grooves are shaped to give a tapered reduction. The rolls have antifriction bearings. The work is turned round step by step to prevent fins being formed on it from the motor 71 and ratchet 59 through a dog clutch 85 whereby the mandrel sleeve is rotated step by step, the squared part 73<11> of the mandrel is rotated. When the mandrel is retracted this dog clutch is disengaged with it.
