Abstract
An entry rollerway for a cooling bed for elongate rolled stock in which all parts necessary for guiding and laterally ejecting the rods are carried by lantern-shaped cast members which also constitute the bearings for the rollerway rollers, so that the long support structure or the frame-like understructure previously used in entry rollerways is avoided.
