I was speaking with an acquaintance this morning who teaches Material
Engineering at Cal Poly SLO. I asked about his recent trip to Iowa, did six
weeks a NIU? Apparently he teaches casting, probably from the metallurgical
standpoint. He mentioned he had visited several foundries in the area, JD
and affiliated, I assume. With the recent discussion on casting parts here I
got interested. Didn't have time to elaborate, but I did find out that there
are 57 foundries in California. Hard to imagine with all the pollution
controls.
