Abstract

An annular friction liner, especially for use in a friction device of a motor vehicle, is made by an apparatus including a pair of adjacent conical rolls, a helical guide and a device for trimming a length of the continuous ring whereby a straight strip of friction material, having a width substantially equal to the required final width of the liner, is deformed into a continuous ring.
