APPENDIX J
WEIGHT OF CASTINGS COMPARED WITH WOOD PATTERNS

The following table shows what the weight of a casting will be compared with the weight of the wood pattern from which it was made, less the weight of the core point, or piece projecting from the pattern to support it.

APPENDIX K
GEARS AND GEARINGS

A spur-gear is a gear with teeth cut on its periphery, that is an ordinary cog-wheel. Miter gears are two bevel gears of the same diameter which run together. A large miter gear will not mesh with a small miter gear nor with another bevel gear in the proper manner. Miter and bevel gears cannot be interchanged with other sets like spur gears.
