Excerpt from Coremaking

To the Foundry men:

So many of the losses in the Foundry due to imperfect castings can be laid to core-room practice, and so little has been done to study the several determining factors which are important for the perfect core for the work in hand, that we have sought to obtain for foundrymen authoritative information bearing upon core-room progress. To this end, we secured the services of Dr. Richard Moldenke, of international reputation in foundry work, to make a line of tests with various core-binders, sand mixtures, baking temperatures, etc., to aid the foundryman in judging the material he buys and in using the same most effectively.

The article presented herewith deserves the careful attention of all foundrymen. To make the booklet of additional value for reference, a collection of tables is included giving information useful, but frequently not at hand in convenient form. It is hoped that this publication may fill an existing need, and serve to awaken interest and investigation.

Respectfully,

Corn Products Refining Company.
