The apparatus has a vertical guide means which has guide rails and guide slides for correcting attitude deviations from the vertical of a disc shaped article as it free falls through the guide means. The apparatus also includes means for releaseably securing a disc shaped article at a preselected height. The apparatus also includes a contact plate for terminating the free fall of the disc shaped article and imparting the resulting impact force at a point on the outer diameter of the article.
