The melting of gray iron ina graphite crucible is so simple that itis surprising that the practice is notmore general. Alternate layers of charcoal and grayiron, broken to pieces about the size ofwalnuts or larger (if it is not conven-ient to have pieces so small), are putin a Dixon graphite crucible, and themelting is done in the pit brass furnace,and an iron casting of high grade willbe secured in a very little longer timethan it takes to make a brass casting. By using the bottom of an old brasscrucible as a cover the sulphur fumesand coal are kept out of the crucible andthe charge is melted more quickly. Cut one boorcf/o this radius center. FIG. 6. STRIKING BOARDS. Push Yourself Upward in Position and Pay By John C.
