Fig. 15. Interesting Examples of Die-castings
The sprue cutter H, better shown in the plan view, is square in shape and connects with the die-cavities in a thin narrow opening on either side of the sprue cutter. The ejector pins, I, two to each die, are at the ends of the bearings. The ejector-pin plate J is necessarily large, and is operated by lever K.
[Fig. 15] shows a number of interesting examples of die-castings.

VAN WAGNER MFG. CO.’S DIE-CASTING PRACTICE
In 1907, Mr. E. B. Van Wagner, of Syracuse, N. Y., established the E. B. Van Wagner Mfg. Co. for the production of die-castings. The factory comprises the office section, the machine shop where the dies and casting machines are built, the metallurgical laboratory where the metals are alloyed, the casting department shown in [Fig. 17] where the die-castings are made, and the trimming department.
