Abstract
In an apparatus for transporting cylindrical steel articles by rolling down on inclined skid rails, a plurality of electromagnets are provided along extension of the skid rails so as to reduce the speed of rolling down of the articles repeatedly during transportation on the skid rails by applying forward and reverse excitations to each of the electromagnets at a predetermined timing thereby to transport the articles in a pitch transfer mode.
