Abstract
Apparatus for continuously casting metal strips at various rates wherein and whereby a non-turbulent, constant-head, constant-temperature source of dross-free melt is provided to the casting nozzle by pumping the melt from a reservoir upwardly through a standpipe open midway to the nozzle and overflowing it from the standpipe back to the reservoir. An adjustable wire atop the standpipe controls the metalostatic head above the casting nozzle, and a reversible pump permits ready aborting of a casting run.
