[SEL] Patterns #1

[Curt]

A while back Rick S. asked about documenting the process of making a 
pattern. Currently I'm working on putting a few pages together and, time 
permitting, I'm get 'em all up on my web site in the next few weeks.
This first page is a Stickney part and is part of a group of parts 
unique to fuel pumper Stickneys. A lot of Stickeys were gravity fed, but 
a few had this complicated arrangement to get the fuel head up high 
enough so that it would then gravity feed to the mixer. A site gage sat 
high at the back of the engine allowing the operator to observe fuel 
flow in a glass site gage. This glass needed protection and a cast iron 
protective cage was used. Here is the process of making the pattern and 
the core box to define the OD shape and inside shape of this protective 
cage.

Hope this is what you had in mind Rick.....
