Abstract
A casting assembly for controllably depositing an elongated, thin cast ribbon on a substrate includes a means for magnetically retaining the ribbon on the substrate. A relatively thin spacer leaf is secured in contacting relationship with the substrate to separate the substrate and the magnets. The spacer is flexible and resilient both in the direction of substrate movement and across the width of the substrate to accommodate irregularities in the surface and movement of the substrate, reducing belt wear and power requirements and improving smoothness of substrate movement.
