Here high-pressure gas burn-ers that are automatically controlled by athermostat quickly heat the oven andsprings to the desired temperature. After apredetermined interval the springs are runout of the far end of the oven and aftercooling are ready for shipment.

As thisfoundry does much of the core baking atnight the ovens were also equipped wit
