Patten-making is thus a very important part of foundry work, and the pattern-maker must be a craftsman of experience and of more than ordinary intelligence. The competent pattern maker has a knowledge of practical plane and solid geometry and of mechanical drawing; he is constantly required to lay upon an uneven angular surface, lines which the ordinary draughtsman can get much more easily on smooth surface of paper"e;Contents include: "e;Foundry Patterns and Foundry Practice"e;, "e;Jointing-up Patterns"e;, "e;Finishing Patterns"e;, "e;Circular Patterns"e;, "e;Making Core-boxes"e;, "e;Coring Holes in Castings"e;, "e;Patterns and Moulds for Iron Columns"e;, "e;Steam-engine Cylinder Patterns and Core-boxes"e;, "e;Worm Wheel Pattern"e;, "e;Lathe-bed Patterns"e;, "e;Headstock and Poppet Patterns"e;, "e;Slide-rest Patterns"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
