Drawback Plate
See DRAWBACK.
Draw-gates are so called because they are set between the pattern and a down-gate, a slight taper permitting of their being withdrawn either towards the mould or in the opposite direction, whichever is the most convenient. See GATES; DOWN-GATE.
Draw-hooks is a simple iron or steel hook for drawing or lifting patterns from the sand. Ordinarily, a common eye at the opposite end answers for lifting by, but an excellent combination of steel hook and raw hide mallet may now be obtained; also a steel hook provided with a spherical head of hard rubber, both of which afford a handy means for rapping small patterns as well as drawing them.
