PLAN No. 1036. FOUNDRY
All castings are made in the foundry. The shop is usually more or less open to the weather, and the work requires a good deal of walking and standing.
Among the men employed are molders, who place the patterns in the sand, and make the sand molds into which the melted metal is poured; cupola furnace tenders, who operate the furnace in which the iron is melted; and foundry shippers, who clean up castings. In addition, helpers and laborers are employed.
