Excerpt from A Design of a Modern Foundry: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering of the University of Illinois, Presented June, 1909
In the design of this foundry I have considered jobbing work in small grey iron castings, as the kind of product to be turned out, and have used that as a basis from which to work. Now in all foundries where the output depends upon the market, as in the case under consideration, some account must be taken of the fact that the kind of work to be done may vary within reasonable limits, and'the construction, therefore, should be made to take care of such variation.
