The foundry is equipped with a cupola for melting iron, the necessary sand, ladles, flasks, etc., fo*r making the castings which are afterward to be used in the machine shop. The laboratory is also supplied with dynamometers, friction brakes, calorimeters, steam engine indicators, and other apparatus for carrying on mechanical laboratory work. A 50-horse power high speed engine, made by the students in the machine shop, furnishes power and is available for testing purposes. Three other steam engines, a gas engine, and several boilers of different makes furnish ample material for testing by the students in this department.
