Crawford, hand of tho mechanical •nglnotri department, announced day that new f equipment which will give the students of me chanical engineering • hotter knowledge of the tecnnlcallttoe of foundry work has boon addod by the department This equipment la designed teat the sand in moulds for e bigs. ^ Sand control in the foundry is one of the most important aspects of foundry work, Crawford stated. Formerly, the foundry technician tested sand by using his senses of sight and foci, but many faulty castings resulted from this method. Crawford said that lack of at tention to the proper preparation of sand in foundries probably causes more losses of castings than any other one mistake. The preaent system in moat foundries employs the use of sand testing equipment similar to tha equipment just added in the college foundry. Foundry courses are now do- signed to give the student at A. A M. a knowledge of the technical aspects of sand control. Formerly, the mechanical engineering depart ment could only explain the tech nicalities of this phase of foundry work.
