An apparatus for continuously storing a strip of material in a coil, including a flat platter and a drive for rotating the platter, the coil lying edgewise on the platter and the strip including an incoming strip portion leading to the coil periphery and an outgoing strip portion leading from the coil center, an arrangement for applying the incoming strip portion to the periphery of the coil of the strip on the platter as it rotates, in an even number of substantially straight strip sections joined at curved corners providing alternating even and odd strip sections and applying an inward pressure to the even strip sections to form the even strip sections into concave strip sections. A resistance pad positioned on the platter at the odd strip sections for engaging the strip edge and resisting movement of the strip toward the coil center, with the resistance pad having a friction producing surface with a lower level and a higher level with an inclined surface between the levels and with the outer edge of the higher level being substantially straight, and a skid pad positioned on the platter at the even strip sections for engaging the strip edge and enhancing movement of the strip toward the coil center, with the skid pad having a convex inner edge with an upward turned lip.
