Excerpt from International Library of Technology: A Series of Textbooks for Persons Engaged in the Engineering Professions and Trades or for Those Who Desire Information Concerning Them; Fully Illustrated and Containing Numerous Practical Examples and Their Solutions
Four Of the volumes of this library are devoted to subjects pertaining to shop and foundry practice. The present vol ume, the fourth of the series, treats on the following sub jects machine molding, foundry appliances, malleable casting, brass founding, and blacksmithing and forging. The first four Of the subjects named form a continuation of the treatment of molding and foundry practice. Special attention is called to the paper on Malleable Casting; this is believed to be the first attempt in print to give reliable information concerning this extremely important subject, and this feature alone will render the volume Of great value to any one interested in malleable casting. The papers on Blacksmithing and Forging include heating furnaces and handling devices, and a treatment Of soldering, brazing, and sweating.
The method of numbering the pages, cuts, articles, etc. Is such that each subject or part, when the subject is divided into two or more par ts, is complete in itself; hence, in order to make the index intelligible, it was necessary to give each subject or part a number. This number is placed at the top of each page, on the headline, opposite the page number; and to distinguish it from the page number it is preceded by the printer's section mark Consequently, a refer ence such as 37, page 26, will be readily found by looking along the inside edges of the headlines until 37 is found, and then through§ 37 until page 26 is found.
