Riassunto

Excerpt from Pattern Making and Foundry Practice: A Plain Statement of the Methods of Wood Pattern Making, as Practiced in Modern Pattern Shops, With Complete Instructions for Sweep Work and Notes on Foundry Practice

Not being engaged in active business last winter, I devoted my leisure time to the prepa ration of this work, feeling assured that it would confer a lasting benefit upon those of my fellow workmen of the craft, who will study the expla nations and illustrations which it contains with the same care and earnestness which I have devoted to their elaboration. The subjects treated relate mainly to patterns which came, from time to time, to my bench or which fell under my observation while I was general fore man of the wood working department in the factory.
