An assembled cope and drag is called the "Flask".

I think the "larger image" issue for any browser has to do with having Java
enabled. A lot of people disable it or never install it due to numerous
security flaws.

Rob, If I can find my copy of the 1950s Popular Mechanics Junior Do-it-

them to you. It would be a nice adjunct to the commentary on the DynaJet
engines.
It's in a box, somewhere...

That should do a lot to 'fill in the blanks' on the DynaJet.

Correct, I've previously posted several other sand casting patterns but never
got
any answers for what the parts were specifically for.

Rob looking here
http://www.stevendifranco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=84&Itemid=76
about 2/3 of the way down (search 18K HGE) I know that it is 14kbut this may
be the answer
This one can be confusing to someone who doesn't have any experience at
jewelry karat markings. The "HGE" , "GE", or "HG" stands for hard gold
electroplated, the 18k refers to the type of plating, not that the piece of
jewelry is actually 18k gold. In other words, a piece of jewelry that is
stamped 18k HGE is gold plated costume jewelry with little or no value

Thanks, I think you are correct that HG is what is on the stamp.

I don't think that's the problem. I have both Java Script and Java (two
separate things) disabled and the "larger image" loads just fine. I'm
running the last version of the original Opera Browser, 12.16 on Linux.
I suspect they are doing some weird browser sniffing. It will load okay
using an old version of Opera 11 (Don has an old version of Opera 10).
But if I try with an old version of Firefox a large image url reverts
from:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/Album18/pic2959da.jpg
to:
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/Album18/pic2959da.jpg.html
and a whole bunch of extra crap (an album webpage with viewer)
comes up.
Don might get Opera to work by having it "spoof" or "mask" its identity
as either Firefox or IE. Or just use wget to grab the file and display
it with another graphics app...

Good to hear that it worked, I'll make a note to remind myself to post the
larger
ones on imgur but if I ever happen to forget don't hesitate to let me know.

The "flask" is the outer containment structure for the
sand mold. Usually a rectangular box. The two halves of the
flask lock together and that keeps the two halves of the mold
aligned and keeps the mold from separating due to the hydraulic
pressure of the molten metal.
Most high production small castings are made using flaskless
molding today. The mold are made as a long string of molds.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2959) Looks like a cutter from a motorized harvesting machine.
At a guess -- for harvesting a cane type crop.
The "larger image" links have gotten worse. Of three browsers,
only one brings it up full size -- for a moment, and then goes blank.
2960) An old forged bit for a metal-turning lathe. This one designed
for working around a ridge and turning inside that area.
2961) Hmm ... from the angle of the photo it is not clear, but it
*looks* to me as though the crank is too close to the backboard
to allow it to be turned, so it is some kind of demonstration,
not a working tool.
The smaller one might be for winding thread on a bobbin, but
again, the clearance for a full turn seems to be missing, at
this time on the cross-bar on the read part.
2962) For separating coarse from fine parts of some grain product at
a guess.
2963) A wood model of a shape to be cast in iron or bronze. The flat
side is put down in a half box, "Green sand" is poured around it
and pounded until it sets up fairly hard, then the half box
("flask" is the official term, I think) is turned over and a
similar other half is prepared and joined to it -- with holes
for guiding the molten metal into the mold. Once the metal
cools enough, the sand is broken off and the metal then gets
whatever other post-processing is needed to make the final part.
2964) A "Dynajet Redhead" -- a pulse jet for models which is started
with a bicycle pump, and once it is running, requires hearing
protection for all in the neighborhood. :-)
Now to post and see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

But, I'm on Sun Workstations. Available browsers are Firefox,
Opera (an older version -- they've stopped supporting Sun/Oracle), and
an older Mozilla.
IE8 just is not made to run on UltraSPARC machines, nor would I
trust it given IE's (and Windows') sad security histories.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Certainly disabled on *my* systems -- at least for browser
access. Running of local code is a different matter, and is done on
some systems behind the firewall.

Found the article online Lloyd, suspend your search! it's from the May
1949 issue of Popular Mechanics:
http://books.google.com/books?id=I9kDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepa
ge&q&f=false
Article begins on page 206. (It may take a little while to load...)
Back in the day, pulse jets were flown almost exclusively control line,
and were really finicky to start & keep running.
Each and every 'pulse' is dependent on the one preceding it for a
fuel/air charge. If a tiny fuel bubble or whatever causes a single
'miss' the engine instantly stops. There is no 'inertia' I guess you
could call it.
There were more exotic fuel blends than you can imagine, some containing
ether, benzine and whole hosts of other nasty stuff. Lots of custom reed
valve retainers, flowjectors, metering jets and on and on. Few people
agreed on any aspect of them. (My experience was c. mid to late 60's)
However, if you search YouTube, there seems to be some folks now flying
them R/C with little if any of start/run issues of yore... they've made
a lot of progress, thats for sure. Some are still flying them C/L speed
as well.
I bet with 100' of altitude, one of the damn things could be plainly
heard five miles distant... upwind in a stiff breeze.

2963 looks like it may be a casting mold pattern for foundry casts..
possibly half of a full pattern, because of the half-round feature on the
one side, adjacent to a flat surface.
