PHOTOGRAPHER’S JOURNAL:  The runner box has been removed. It directed liquid metal from the casting furnace to two, perforated distributor cups to break up the flow and prevent bubbles of gas from forming in the freshly poured billet. Mike removes the first distributor cup in preparation for opening the casting furnace and removing two, new, blisteringly hot, scarlet billets.
