The Future of the Foundry was 'Cast' in the Past: 2002 Charles Edgar Hoyt Memorial Lecture. (American Foundry Society CastExpo '02).


The presentation of the Charles Edgar Hoyt Memorial Lecture at the AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System.

Hoyt entered the metalcasting industry in 1961. Throughout the forty years of his career, he has received numerous AFS awards, including the AFS Service Citation Citation

In his lecture, Hoyt highlights the accomplishments of foundrymen from the past and how their knowledge has and will influence the future of the foundry industry. He begins by focusing on the first metal castings Metal casting

Hoyt then focuses on the transfer of knowledge from the experienced foundrymen to the new generation and the critical role apprenticeship apprenticeship, system of learning a craft or trade from one who is engaged in it and of paying for the instruction by a given number of years of work. The practice was known in ancient Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as in modern Europe and to some extent  programs have played in the past. According to according to

 Hoyt, this was how he was introduced to the foundry industry and its art and science, and it is something that must return to the future foundry industry.

Hoyt then delivers tips on how to develop an effective training program. This is followed by a list of technical resources available to foundries to augment aug·ment

However, the key for any foundry, according to Hoyt, is that they have "pride."

"If in metalcasting history, technology and technical support are the backbone of our industry, then pride must be the heart," says Hoyt. "When employees can take pride in their jobs and they are recognized for what they accomplish, then the foundry has a win-win situation."
