We crossed the tracks and entered
the brass shop. While this shop was
not at that time in operation a large
order of aluminum castings for war
purposes had just been completed.
This shop is equipped to make light
brass castings and the making of brass
hinges is an interesting operation
which is carried on from time to time.
The boiler room was next on the
list. There are two high pressure
boilers, one of 65 horsepower and one
of 150 horsepower. The smaller one
was being reset at the time. These

moulding shop. The-boxes used in the
moulding shop are also manufactured
here.
A real point of interest was the sand
storage shed which houses the sand
for the moulding. There is a coarse
sand for making heavy castings, fine
sand for light castings, and core sand
which is used for making the cores of
the moulds, such as hollows in water
fronts, etc. Another sand is the fine
sand used in the cupola for heat resis-
tance. The cupola is where the iron
is melted to a temperature of 2800 de-
grees to make it fluid so that it will
pottr into the moulds.
The moulding shop was entered at
the west end. In this end of the
building the heavy castings are mould-
ed on the floor in wooden boxes of
various types and sizes while at the
other end the smaller moulds are made
on benches. The moulds after being
poured and shook out of the sand are
taken into the tumbling room where
large tumbling barrels with air ex-
