Thus they produce steel castings which are practically free from blowholes and shrinkage, notwithstanding that metal out of one ladle can be indiscriminately poured into elevator bucket moulds less than one-eighth of an inch thick, or into moulds for heavy crank shafts —Scientific Journal. —————————— a fitory of a Filial Chinaman. = STONEWALL JACKSON.
