[PreWar] Fw: help with M Type

[Adrian Twelvetrees]

Hi Gene,

I'm just back from a few days away, so I have only just read all the  
subsequent posts. In addition to choosing the correct alloy, there is  
a lot of careful observation and judgement needed in the casting  
process. I have been told by a retired white metal expert that you  
need to be doing the job nearly every day to guarantee a good result.  
So, pick a workshop that does lots of them, and make sure that their  
expert has not just retired leaving the apprentice to learn by  
experience.

Best,

Roger
