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.

Eye-bar

A common chisel or pointed bar with an eye forged at the opposite end--a useful implement in a foundry.

Eye-bolt is an ordinary bolt with a round or oval eye at one end to receive a hook, rope, or chain. Bolts of this class may be put to an infinite variety of uses in the foundry, if general arrangements for lifting cores, flasks, etc., are made favorable to their adoption. A welded ring in the eye changes it into a ring-bolt.
