It plans to answer the questions: what are castings and what does the industry look like? It is worth while spending some time on these initial questions. The first series of figures will give us an overview of the many varieties of castings which are produced. Figure 3201.00.01 may be your image of the casting industry - rough iron castings from a foundry under a railway arch. It is true that some of the industry is still like this, as in many sections of the engineering profession. However, elsewhere, the industry has entered the twentieth century, and is already preparing for the twenty-first! TALAT 3201
