The inertia forces of rotation distribute the molten metal into the mold cavities during the centrifugal casting, of which there are three categories : true centrifugal casting, semi-centrifugal casting, and centrifuging. The first two processes produce hollow cylindrical shapes and parts with rotational symmetry, respectively. In the third process the mold cavities are spun at a certain radius from the axis of rotation; the centrifugal force thus increases the pressure in the mold cavity. 3, record 1, English, - centrifugal%20casting

Few organisms are preserved entire in the rocks; only the hard parts, such as shells and bones, as a rule endure. These parts may be preserved unchanged, but commonly the material out of which they were built by the organism has been dissolved by circulating solutions... The shell or hard part may even be wholly removed, and only an imprint or hollow mold be left in the rock. A natural mold of this sort may later become filled with mineral matter, and this filling thus forms a copy or natural cast of the organic object. 5, record 5, English, - internal%20mould
