Abstract
Apparatus for conducting a cylindrical work element towards and away from a machine tool such as a centerless grinder capable of imparting a spiral motion to the work element, the apparatus including a roll conveyor having positionable rolls that are adjustable to produce a relatively deep trough for securely supporting the work element against the action of the tool and to provide a means for coordinating the surface speed of the rolls with that of the work whereby the work is precluded from slipping or sliding over the rolls as it is fed towards or away from the work station of the machine tool.
