through a cooling station 17 to solidify the parts which are then ejected onto a collection ramp 19 by conventional means as best seen in fig2 the ladle assembly 14 includes a vessel 20 supported by a ladle shoe 22 which rests upon the surface 16 of the mold assembly 12 ladle shoe 22 is planar and is finished to rest upon and slide over surface 16 the ladle shoe 22 must move across the surface 16 without damage and covers the mold cavity prior to casting ladle assembly 14 is held in cantilevered fashion by a supporting arm this permits the ladle assembly 14 to rest upon and complement the mold assembly 12 while permitting the mold assembly 12 to rotate likewise the mold assembly 12 could be stationary and the support arm rotatable with respect thereto molten material is introduced into the vessel 20 via fill tube 24 and exits the vessel 20 via sprue 28 sprue 28 is formed by tapering one end of vessel 20 to form a funnel like tip as can be seen with reference to fig4 sprue 28 is generally in the same plane of the shoe 22 but is provided with a slight clearance this clearance is only large enough to permit some wear of shoe 22 before sprue 28 and venting conduit 30 contact surface 16 it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that machine tolerances and impurities prevent the accomplishment of a flush fit between shoe 22 and surface 16 after repeated casting and that such a tolerance is necessary.
