Pattern
A Pattern is the casting line's equivalent of a diagram, carved rather than drafted: a diagram, a knife and 2 planks make one, and the plank's own wood is captured into the pattern's variant. It carries what to cast - the casting station reads it off the held stack rather than naming a shape itself - and it wears a point of its own 24-use durability each time it rams an impression. Thirteen ship: ingot mold, heavy plate, barrel, shell, wheel section, billets, blooms, slab, shaft, small gear blank, large gear blank, roller blanks and frame. See Diagrams and the design table and Molten metal and casting.
