 Post subject: Bronze Casting
PostPosted: Thu Sep 06, 2001 11:57 am 

Folks,
My museum in San Francisco meeds a source for pattern making and bronze casting of a governor for a clock work. It is similar to the four-armed
device seen on some steam engines.

Can anyone suggest a place in the Western United States that can do this kind of work?

> Suggest you call Fred Bennett at the Trolley Barn in San Jose (408-293-BARN). Bob Schneider, a volunteer at the barn, does pattern work, and we've had a number of bronze items cast for nine trolleys that have been restored over the past twenty years. So close to home!

For patterns, we use Precision Pattern in Oakland. Dieter is a true artist!

You can also call English Brothers in Hayward. (510 783 5700, 2337 American Ave.) They are a brass (bronze) foundry with pattern making abilities.
