Excerpt from Foundry Practice: A Text Book for Molders, Students, and Apprentices
During his experience as instructor in foundry practice at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the author was handicapped by the lack of a suitable text-book. The volume presented here follows the scheme of instruction used by him, and, beginning with the simplest type of mold, endeavors to lead the student and apprentice gradually through the more difficult lines of work in green and dry sand and loam. From the many possible examples which might have been used to illustrate the different practices, only those have been selected which are typical of the class of work to which they belong. It is recommended that the reader, whenever possible, supplement his study of this book by actually making molds of the character described in the various chapters. It is impossible to learn the art of molding by reading only.
Such other matters as the student of foundry work should be acquainted with are included in the book, these including the subjects of cupola practice, mixing and melting, cleaning and repair of castings, etc.
The author has endeavored to make a text-book for the student, apprentice, and molder, rather than a reference work for the finished foundryman. His thanks are due to Mr. Robert Thurston Kent, M.E., for editing the manuscript and reading the proofs.
