Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Pit molds and all floor molds must be provided with a cinder bed located about l/2 or 2 feet below the casting to provide for the escape of the gases of the lower half of the mold. The cinder bed is connected to the surface by vent pipes which give free passage for the gases. Very deep molds may have cinder beds located at different levels around the mold. The gases are led to the cinder bed by freely venting the mold so that the wire strikes the bed. 2, record 2, English, - cinder%20bed

In flaskless molding(whether vertical or horizontal) instead of using "tight" individual flasks for each mold produced, the master flask is contained as an integral unit of the totally mechanized mold producing system. Once the mold has been stripped from the integral mold producing unit, it is held against the other half of the mold with enough pressure to allow pouring of the metal. 1, record 3, English, - flaskless%20molding
