The Encyclopedia of Founding

Twelve hundred entries from the golden age of cast metal — how bells are founded, why brass is not bronze, what a cupola melts and a core withstands — by Simpson Bolland, the trade's great teacher.

Core-nails

A cheap description of cut-nails made specially for foundry purposes. Many founders seem to be ignorant of the existence of these useful substitutes for the best nails, and permit the inordinate use of finishing and other nails, which, although they cost much more, are not even as good for the purpose as common ones. See NAILS.
