Loam Molding
Loam molding was formerly used for making cast iron or bronze cannon and is still used for casting large bells. Loam (pronounced 'loom') is a mixture of sand and clay with water, sometimes with horse dung (valuable for its straw content), animal hair or coke. The object of including dung or hair was to make the mould permeable and allow gas (such as steam) to escape during casting. The mold for a cylindrically symmetrical object, such as a cannon, is built up in stages around a spindle, to which is fixed a strickle board with the shape of the eventual casting. The mold also has provision for the casting of a gunhead, beyond the muzzle of the cannon, into which slag can float during casting. If the object is to be hollow, a straw rope is wound around the spindle and covered in a friable material to the dimensions of the exterior of the cannon, the strickle board being turned on the spindle to ensure it is cylindrical.

Retain And Transfer System
The retain and transfer system was a restriction that existed in England from 1893 until 1963 on the freedom of professional association football players to transfer from one Football League club to another. The system remained in place until the High Court ruled in 1963 that it was an unjustifiable restraint of trade. Background In 1885, faced with the threat of a breakaway British Football Association by 31 clubs, the Football Association relented to professional players being paid by their clubs for playing. Even then, the vast majority of players had other employment and only supplemented their wages by playing football. Soon after, the Football Association introduced a registration system for players. Before that, a player could agree to play one or more games for any football club. After the Football Association recognized professionalism in 1885, it sought to control professional players by introducing a player registration system. Players had to register with a club ...
