A degassing machine is removing gasses from the liquid aluminum. This removes any air bubbles that may cause impurities in the casting.
Some Seaport workers preparing metals for use; others are die grinding on molds.

The plaster molds can create dusty conditions.
 
Checking the temperature of the molten metal. It needs to be reduced to 1200 degrees to pour into the mold. To the immediate left foreground is one of the small furnaces that melts the metals.

Checking the temperature of the molten metal. It needs to be adjusted to 1200° Fahrenheit to pour into the mold. On the left is one of the small furnaces that melts the metals.
     
Liquid Aluminum is being poured into one of the sand castings.
 
Carefully the men align the bucket over the mold. Splashing here could be quite hazardous to ones well being.

Excess material is being trimmed by hand before it has time to harden.
 
Excess liquid aluminum is being poured back into one of the bar molds so it can be reused at a later time. This would be more fun if it were solid gold! :-)

Excess molten aluminum is being poured back into one of the form of "Ingot", into molds so it can be reused at a later time.
