Shops And as our hero is being fed into the mill, we find . . .” In the sixteenth century, a certain person named Leonardo da Vinci, among others, began writing about foundry practices. Aided by the printina press, he began telling everybody abo ut J of worker who was a patternmaker, mold-maker, blast furnace controller and machinist all in one. People like him probably told of the great advance¬ ments made in foundry, such as the concept t s and risers would aid in the pourii trnetals and the escape of gases. Up until the 1700 ' s, when the first actual complex machine, the steam engine, was invented, there was much call for a separate profession of machin¬ ing. The main function of machining in Renaissance days was polishing the castings. Likewise, since castings were not complex, pat¬ terns were not. Many times a pattern consisted of merely a strickle board, or template mounted on a pivot and used to clear out large pits, with loom and brick cores. Tech ' s excellent foundry, pattern-making, and ma¬ chining courses teach us the workings of this still very important industry.
