Excerpt from Pattern Making and Foundry Practice: A Plain Statement of the Methods of Wood Pattern Making, as Practiced in Modern Pattern Shops, With Complete Instructions for Sweep Work and Notes on Foundry Practice

Not being engaged in active business last winter, I devoted my leisure time to the prepa ration of this work, feeling assured that it would confer a lasting benefit upon those of my fellow workmen of the craft, who will study the expla nations and illustrations which it contains with the same care and earnestness which I have devoted to their elaboration. The subjects treated relate mainly to patterns which came, from time to time, to my bench or which fell under my observation while I was general fore man of the wood working department in the factory.

My purpose in writing this book will be apparent from its great usefulness, which, I am quite sure, will be conceded by intelligent and thoughtful readers.

For many years I have been employed in railroad and construction shops and have observed that the principles of pattern making were less understood than any other branch of wood work. I have frequently noticed, in railroad shops especially, that the workmen who could "make a pattern" commanded a better position and were in greater demand than those who could not. In large shops from one to a great many pattern makers are regularly employed, and work is systematically arranged; but in the smaller shops it is very important to have a workman in the cabinet or carpenter shop who is competent to make a correct pattern and who may be called upon at any time to perform this duty, thereby being instrumental in saving much money for his employers.
