Heat 2 of 3- Investment Casting of Steel in the research foundry at Missouri University of Science & Technology. I’m the person controlling the furnace and turning the wheel on the ladle.

In addition to making castings, we were also taking thermal readings from inside the first shell mold. You can see the white insulation running out of the container, which was used to protect the wires.

This one happens to include a segment at the end with Simon talking to me about proper ladle orientation while moving.
