A precision roll stand includes a roll housing absorbing the rolling forces. In the roll housing rolls constituting a roll pair with their roll chocks are mounted so as to be rotatable and mutually adjustable by an adjustment device which changes the axial distance between the pair of rolls. A drive housing including a roll drive is connectable with the roll housing while establishing a drive connection of the roll drive with the rolls and being removable from the same while undoing the drive connection. In order to produce rolled products exhibiting extremely high measuring accuracies and to be able to exchange the rolls quickly and without difficulty, the roll housing has a frame which is open in the direction of adjustment of the rolls and contains and guides the chocks of the rolls. A crosshead for closing the frame carries the adjustment device designed as a pressure medium cylinder and is rigidly connectable with the frame. The drive housing is supported on the crosshead.

An arrangement for laying a wire in circular windings by bending the wire to circular form during simultaneous twisting includes a wire conveying device and a consecutively arranged laying head including a rotating laying pipe, whose central axis is oriented tangentially to the wire axis on the wire entry end and which gradually passes from the entry end into a circular arc directed approximately perpendicular to the axis of rotation, its center lying on the axis of rotation. A twisting device is provided between the wire conveying means and the laying head. In order to be able to lay wires of larger diameters in closely adjacent windings, the twisting device is formed by a bent pipe twisting the wire under positive locking and frictional engagement.
