Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor unit constituting a separating and feed mechanism (33), in particular for sheet-shaped workpieces, in particular sheets (3) to be printed, with a lifting mechanism (2) for transporting the sheet (3) vertically and a conveyor track with conveyor means (51, 52) for transporting the sheet (3) horizontally. This being the case, the conveying means (51, 52) are displaceable in a guide system between an operating position for feeding the sheet (3) to a production unit (36), in particular a printing machine (37), and a non-operating position to enable the sheet (3) to be lifted unhindered from a sheet stack (39).

Abstract: Apparatus and method for manufacture of bell-shaped, air core armatures for fractional horse power electrical d.c. motors. A metal wire is wound on a slantingly in relation to the armature axis uninterruptedly in such a way as to form triangular equal-sided conductor fields. For winding, the wire is led around the outer edges by two guiding devices of which one is arranged at the upper end, and the other at the lower end of a rotable cylindrical auxiliary device. The windings are staggered with respect to each other by 180.degree. electrically. One turn of the winding is placed next to the other until the armature winding is completed. The apparatus includes a cylindrical auxiliary device with tape-like guiding means clamped on the surface of the device or mandrel, the guiding means extending tangentially in relation to the mandrel cylindrical surface.
