Abstract: A method of producing foil in a coil relates to the art of applying coatings under vacuum and can prove to be most advantageous in producing foil from pure metals. The proposed method is characterized in that the foil is obtained by continuous condensation of metallic vapors under vacuum on a layer of antiadhesive, said layer being applied to the surface of a rotating substrata, this resulting in producing a metal layer - the foil, and in forming simultaneously a coil thereof, both said operations: the producing of the foil and forming the coil thereof being effected on one rotating substrata so that each next metal layer is being formed on an antiadhesive layer applied to the preceding metal layer. With the herein-proposed method the produced foil exhibits the same degree of reflectivity from both sides, and it is also possible for a coil to be formed while producing the foil which ensures an adequate quality of said foil.

Abstract: A storage device comprising two blocks of different diameter with parallel axes and bases arranged at right angles to the axes. The blocks are set up with an eccentricity with respect to each other, the relative displacement of their axes being equal to half the difference between the diameters of the block bases presented to each other, the smaller diameter block having a possibility of running about the axis of the larger diameter block in both directions, therefore, by such means the billet can be transferred from the larger to the smaller diameter block with a smaller extent and number of bends when compared to the known storage device, thus allowing continuous drawing of tubes by joining and welding the billets end to end.
