Cast
A term used among fine-art workers, meaning impressions from sculptures, medals, and other delicate works of art; also, the taking of casts from the face and other natural objects. See PLASTER-CAST. Cast is a common term in the foundry; as, when a piece has been poured, it is said to be cast; when a moulder has finished pouring as many moulds as constitute a day's product, he is considered to be cast off.
