Wish I could help. It sounds like some of Bill Walkins stuff, but I don't have any more foundry momentos to look at. Just some pictures of our babies in ESCO shirts frowning into the camera. Wish I had taken some of the floor.
What IS HE DOING in the profile picture???

Bill Walkins wrote the poems. ESCO published the little book in 1952. Sounds like you don't have the book I have because this is all in it. It has lovely very dated drawings by a Doug Goodrich. About 40 indexed poems and "Foundryman's Prayer" and Foundryman's Wife" are two.
I went down to watch the night shift with my inlaws a few times. My fatherinlaw was a department head and an old foundryman. When they lowered the electrode into the furnice, the roar was most impressive. I learned some industry terms, castings, patterns, molds, spuncast----
I have a scanner and mean to scan some old books for covers. This is one of the books that should be scanned, or photoed.
Love the picture on your profile site.

In my statistics page I found you and I have the only 2 copies of "Rammed up and Poured". My husband worked for ESCO, Electric Steel Foundry Company at the time we were married. This was way back in 1949. He started out on the main floor, and on the spun casting, then up to office and sales. I think he planned to be president some day, but that didn't happen. He did know the author Bill.
How did your copy come to you?
