In the rolling of e.g. metal strip, an entry reel is provided in the form of a stub mandrel having two opposed and spaced-apart arms with reduced diameter end portions, rolling the strip and evacuating a tail end of the strip from the entry reel, placing a coiling spool over the reduced diameter portions of the arms of the stub mandrel, reversing the rolling direction of the mill, gripping the last rolled end of the strip on the coiling spool, again rolling the strip, and coiling the rolled strip on the coiling spool.
