Abstract

A method of making investment shell molds by the lost pattern process characterized in that a strand such as wire or the like is wound circumferentially about a pattern assembly in at least one location before it is coated with refractory material to form a mold shell. Thereafter, the strand is unwound to separate the shell into segments, each of which is usable as a mold.
