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.

Nurnberg Gold

A mock gold, exactly like Manheim. See MANHEIM GOLD. Nuts in Loam-plates.--When it is desired to connect one or more plates (with the intervening bricks), in loam-moulding, where staples for hook-bolts would be objectionable, a reliable substitute for the latter will be found by casting threaded nuts at parts of the plate convenient for inserting iron bolts with threads on both ends. The nuts can be made immovable in the plate by filing a slight V at the corners for the molten iron to fill when the plates are cast. See BINDING-PLATES.
