This is another of the author's and their books that seem to be a favorite for disagreement by people involved in the casting hobby.
Ok some of the stuff, does seem silly or old fashion. But it worked then, and it still works now.
Molding sand, may be any combinations of silicates,clays,and natural bonding agents, or the addition of man made chemicals. It is different by the area it was mined. And how it was worked in that area.
It sort of a BYOMS, bring you own molding sand. Due to the weight and costs with shipping. It was a local thing.

    * Tools& Equipment
    * Patterns &Cores, Core Boxes
    * Bench molding & Floor molding
    * Gates & Risers
    * Designing Sand Casting
    * Casting Defects
    * Nonferrous Melting Equipment
    * Nonferrous Casting Metals
    * Cast Iron
    * Small Foundry Business or Hobby


Again some of the area's in equipment and the business side of it have changed. But they have propbably revised or updated it.

and I'm working on the first two!
