and about 380 sorority women
have signed , the list to attend
church. He said further that the

Just for the record, there is a real honest-to-goodness foundry
for melting iron and aluminum alloys and giving mechanical and

strange to say, it is called the
Foundry. It will become more
conspicious after April 3 when
the students begin melting and
casting iron. If the wind is right,
there will be lots of black smoke
to ease any doubts of its exis
tence.
The Foundry consists of al 1 / 2 -ton
cupola (stack furnace), an alumi
num and brass crucible furnace, a
core oven, a two-ton crane, ladles,
and bench, floor, and machine
molds. It is equipped to make
castings of iron, aluminum and
brass.
The biggest, hottest, smokiest
thing in the place is the cupola—
a green, cylindrical-shaped fur
-1 nace for melting iron. It can melt
iron at the rate of four tons an
hour. It takes from .1 1 / 2 to two
hours to get it fired; EaCh pouring
is called a heat.
The students cast three basic
shapes—two cylinders with dif
ferent altitudes and a cube—and
turn them over to the machine
tool laboratory for students learn
ing machine operation.
The most' interesting develop
ment in the' Foundry is the ex
periments in "C" processing done
by Walter Yahn, an industrial
engineering senior. He is experi
menting independently on a Foun
dry Education Foundation schol
arship. Yahn's work has caught
the attention of Gordon White,
the personnel director of the Gen
eral Motors foundry diVlsion.
The so-called "C" process that
Yahn is working on is the latest
development in foundry casting
ind promises to revolutionize the
field.
The "C" process is a new pro
ceSs for making sand molds and
cores suitable for the production
of precision casting in a wide
variety of metals.
