The principle is to Piping in Steel Ingots cast the steel in molds divided in halves and held together durithe casting by hydraulic pressure. In the planed side edges ofthe molds are grooves which admit bars of a cross section shownat A, Figs, i, 2 and 3. After the metal has been poured intothe mold sufficient time is allowed for a crust to form while theinterior is still liquid. The bars are then withdrawn
