small diameter, and tubes of very large diameter can be obtained with any especially thin walls, accurate in the desired dimensions as a product ready for sale in a relatively simple and cheap apparatus. The subsequent working of the tube is unnecessary. Corresponding to the smaller strain on the material, the driving force necessary'is also considerably smaller. .The roller mandrels undergo on account of the steady, uniform rolling only a small strain and can therefore be made of cheap qualities of steel, also with the object of cooling, in certain cases can be formed hollow. The rollers can be made in the usual lathes. Special working machines as are necessary for rollers; are not required. The otherwise necessary stock of calibrated rollers, tools, mandrels, sleeves and spindles is considerably reduced.
For going over to another .tube dimension a change of rolls is not in general necessary rather a change of the mandreL; and an alteration in the roller distance sufli'ces.
