Turks Head

Two rolling mills together, with one rolling in a horizontal direction and the other in a vertical direction, and in which the axles of all rolls are in the same plane. This permits the rolling of squares, rectangles and trapezoids, among other shapes. Unlike the rolling mill, however, it is generally friction driven, which necessitates the use of a shedding drum or capstan to pull the wire through.
