With the introduction of this type ofsand cutting machine the benefits ofmachine tempered sand are brought tothe door of every foundry. These bene-fits have frequently been stated by theusers of sand cutting machines about asfollows:— Quicker,, cheaper cutting, saving ofexpensive drugery, full time for mold-ing, sand uniform each day, wet and dryspots eliminated, finer finish, accurateweight, fewer blows, in other wordsMORE PRODUCTION, LESS DIS-COUNT, BETTER Hand Propelled Sand Cutting Machine in which the cutters are revolved by power. 26 CANADIAN FOUNDRYMAN Vol. XII A Bronze Lantern Taken from Boscoreale A Lantern Which Burned Oil and Had a Trans-parent Chimney—Not Exactly Modern in Designbut Interesting By F.
