The conveyer e is arranged between the trains of rollers a, b and feeds the bodies forward, for example, on to the rotating rollers a. The bodies are then carried by the lower run of the convever h between the rollers a, over a connecting table i, between the rollers b, above the rollers h, and so back on to the conveyer e, where they may be turned, if desired, and again passed to the rollers a. The tension of the conveyer h is adjustable by chains v, bell-crank levers n, o, and guide rollers k, l. Where the conveyer h. consists of two endless bands side by side, their spacing is maintained by guides w and may be adjusted by sliding the levers n, o transversely of the apparatus. A squeezing roller r is carried by a weighted rod s.
