It can be declaredthat any coke capable of melting pie:iron or scrap in the cupola sufficientlyfor it to be transferred to an electricfurnace can be used with impunity in theduplexing process, because its short-comings are set right in the electric fur-nace. However, it must not be forgot-ten that good coke is always desirablefor the duplexing process, because cokeis cheaper than electricity, every extradegree of heat gained in the cupola bs-(Continued on page 44) October, 1921 CANADIAN FOUNDRYMAN 43. Do You Know the Historyof Your Facings? Hamilton Facings have a history of thirty years; in other words when you buyHamilton Facings you buy our thirty years manufacturing experience. Wehave been Canadian Manufacturers io: thirty years and we know the require-ments of the Canadian Foundrymen. As a result of this thirty years experi-ence we can guarantee that we have a grade for every requirement and thatevery barrel contains high quality and uniformity. As Canadian Manufactur-ers we sell direct to Canadian Manufacturers and you have, therefore, an op-portunity to obtain unusual quality at unusual prices.
