More on patterns....
This is a pattern "on board". Most foundries prefer on board patterns as 
opposed to loose because it is easier on them. As talent has left the 
foundry business, workers with less and less skills can produce with 
these easy patterns.
This simple clevis on a Stickney fuel pump was made from dowel rod 
pieces and glued together. Due to saw kerf width I just made two 
identical patterns and sawed them in half to one side. Once sanded 
smooth, this left two full halves to mount on board.
