Question

___________ forms a seat in mold on which the sand core rests during pouring.

(a) Pattern

(b) Sand

(c) Core

(d) Core Print

This question was posed to me during an interview.

This question is from Cores and Core Prints in section Foundry Introduction of Foundry and Forging

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Core Print

The best I can explain: The core print is just like an added projection on the pattern and it must be of the adequate size and shape so that it can support the weight of the core during the casting operation.
