Production. Milling machines and machine castings. Foundrymen make sculptures in sand more exact then many a work of art. Shown here is a rollover machine for small work. The pattern (left) is first placed face up, and the flask (iron cast on conveyor) placed over it. Special sand is tightly rammed into the flask; then this machine inverts the assembly and withdraws the pattern as shown, leaving a perfect mold. Location: a large Midwest machine tool plant
