False-core
A technical term used chiefly by moulders of fine art work, statuary, etc., meaning loose pieces of mould, or drawbacks, that must be formed at the undercut portions of a model or pattern. These false-cores are rammed carefully in their several places, and separating joints formed on their exterior surfaces, the impression of which being taken in the main section, or cheek of the mould, forms a seating into which they are subsequently fitted and secured, when they are withdrawn from the model. See DRAWBACK; STATUARY-FOUNDING; MODELLING; PLASTER-CAST; UNDER-CUT.
