Brushes

These implements are now made in infinite variety for foundry purposes. Among the number may be noticed the soft bristles for moulders' ordinary use; blackening brushes of special manufacture for coating vertical moulds; flat English bristle for loam and dry-sand blackening; flat camel's-hair for distributing dry lead on green moulds, as well as for the finer classes of loam and dry-sand finishing, and steel-wire hand-brushes for cleaning castings. An improved steel-wire brush is a rotary, one that may be revolved by power.
