The runner feeder sections are assembled within the shell molds such that the ends of the runner feeder section protrude from the mold and can be flow connected to a runner feeder of an adjacent assembly. A plurality of these assemblies constitute the horizontal mold having a horizontal runner feeder and a plurality of shell molds in spaced, side-by-side relationship.
