I posted this to the Britarch list and was
advised to post here instead.
I read that Abraham Darby developed a system
of sand casting that allowed for mass production
of iron bowls.
Also that the sand casting basics were obtained from
Holland, and he imported Dutch experts, who along with
his brass casting experts from Bristol, developed this
process for him.

I am aware of basic sand casting, but could someone
give me a description on Darby's process?
Thanks,
Edgar
