Abstract
The first part attempts to disprove that bronze celts were originally made from bronze molds. The author proposes that bronze molds were used to cast wax forms for lost wax casting. Part two is a discussion of literary references from Sennacherib. Part three is a discussion of ways of shafting metal to wood, and the advantages of bronze molds for wax.
