Aluminum casting. A new development in the production of war materials involves use of magnesium. Here a young worker in a large Midwest foundry takes temperature readings of molten magnesium alloy through the protective crust. At the same time he is sprinkling flux to prevent burning at the hole in the crust after removal of the thermocouple. Aluminum Industries Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio
