Abstract
Apparatus and method for roll crossing and shifting in which work roll chocks are mounted between Mae West blocks, the chocks and Mae West blocks being provided with opposed contact surfaces defining an angle .beta. to the roll axis, whereby, when the rolls are axially shifted, the rolls also cross, through an angle .alpha., due to forces acting on the chocks as they move along the contact surfaces of the Mae West blocks.
