Th designer, explained Mr. Frederic! has one of the most intricate open tlons to perform. His job is to mak the design into a molding patten front which the actual cast Is tnadt Flawless white pine is used fo these patterns, to "insure the ver ; best. From the pattern shop, the pa' i tern .was taken to the 'sand mole I where it was placed in one of th j various pattern molds, with the mol made from a reddish brown san ! which lias to be brought all the wa | front Indiana. The mold was ntad j ready for the casting. Hrcin here, Mr. Frederick led th way to the top of the furnaci where several piles of iron wer ; lieuperi around. Each pile had bee ' weighed to get the exact amount c scrap and the right proportion c i pig. iron. A hot bed coke coals in tn j hot I cm of the furnace was prepare* ; The iron was put in. when the he j of coals had built up to a. certai ' heat.
