Pendulum Bob: a Lead Sphere Cast with Its Eye at the Top Centre
A long pendulum needs a heavy, symmetrical bob: Foucault's of 1851 was a 28 kg brass-coated lead bob on a 67 m wire. This one is a solid lead sphere 12 cm across, about 10 kg, cast in sand with an eye bolt set in its exact top centre so the wire hangs through its axis. Size and method are ours.
The picture: our drawing.

Ram the mould
Ram the mould
Ram one half in each part of the flask, draw them, and cut a sprue into the cavity to one side of the top. Set the eye bolt upside down in the sand of the top so its threaded shank hangs into the cavity exactly on the sphere's axis.

Melt about 11 kg of lead in an iron pot on the forge. Skim it and pour into the sprue in one go until the sprue stands full. Let it cool in the sand.

Trim and check
Shake it out, saw off the sprue and file the seam. Hang it by the eye: it must hang still with the eye straight above the centre. Weigh it.
