Bob,
The foundry manual I rely on is a reprint by Lindsay of the US Navy Foundry
Manual for Repair Ships. A very worthy addition to anyone's library as it
was written for the complete idiot to learn foundry work. Not that our
sailors were idiots by a long shot, but I doubt that any of them had ever
been exposed to foundry work in any form. The repair ships were equipped
with a complete foundry and machine shop so warships could be repaired in
the theatre of operations instead of having to sail thousands of miles to a
port for repairs. Being a land lubber, I never even thought that such repair
ships existed. I knew that all warships have machine shops in them, but
completely dedicated repair ships??? I shoulda had oughta joined the Navy
instead of Uncle's Army.
