TLDR
In this paper, a roll stand with a hydraulic cylinder constantly transmitting, through the piston, fluid pressure onto the feed device in the direction of feed of the tube being rolled, making it possible to increase the number of double strokes per minute and to roll large-diameter tubes.Abstract:
A feed apparatus has means for conversion of a uniform rotational motion into an intermittent forward movement whose input shaft is imparted a uniform rotational motion by a drive kinematically connected to the drive of a roll stand, and a feed device being imparted an intermittent forward motion by said conversion means through the output member thereof and transmitting this motion to a tube being rolled. To decrease load on the parts of said conversion means at the moment of feed of the tube being rolled, the feed apparatus is provided with a hydraulic cylinder constantly transmitting, through the piston, fluid pressure onto the feed device in the direction of feed of the tube being rolled thereby making it possible to increase the number of the roll stand double strokes per minute and to roll large-diameter tubes.read more

Organizational Learning: The Contributing Processes and the Literatures
TL;DR: The literature on knowledge acquisition is voluminous and multi-faceted as mentioned in this paper, and so the knowledge acquisition construct is portrayed as consisting of five subconstructs or subprocesses: 1 drawing on knowledge available at the organization's birth, 2 learning from experience, 3 learning by observing other organizations, 4 grafting on to itself components that possess knowledge needed but not possessed by the organization, and 5 noticing or searching for information about the environment and performance.
