Efficient Remelting : booklet issued by Fry's Metal Foundries Ltd, London, c1955

A fine wee booklet issued by Fry's Metal Foundries of Tandem Works, Meron Abbey, London SW19. It is beautifully produced for them by the Curwen Press of Plaistow, an example of a company involved in the printing and typographical businesses going to one of the best presses around to produce their work for them!

 

Fry's has a long, complicated and interesting history. The booklet details the equipment available and the skills required to correctly melt and re-use foundry metal used for typesetting.
