An apparatus for receiving a flexible starter bar used in continuous-casting of metals and storing the bar between casting operations. The apparatus includes upper and lower ramps, the latter being pivotally supported, whereby it can be lowered to divert the starter bar. As the bar moves up the lower ramp, the tail is directed from the lower ramp back onto the upper ramp. Thus the bar is doubled on itself for compactness. The parts can be shifted transversely of the casting line to make them accessible for maintenance.
