What date is it? Do you have a copy of Overman (he is good on
foundries) and is available as an on-line free down load at:

Overman, Frederick
1851 The moulder's and founder's pocket guide; a treatise on moulding
and founding. With an appendix containing receipts for alloys,
bronze, varnishes, and colours for castings, also tables on the
strength and other qualities of cast metals. A. Hart, late Carey &
Hart, Philadelphia.
A better source for the 1860s is John Percy. But that you will have
to get interlibrary loan or buy.

good place to start.
