    The document discusses cores and core boxes used in sand casting. It defines a core as a compact mass of core sand used to form hollow spaces or internal features in castings. Cores can be horizontal, vertical, balanced, or hanging depending on their position. Core boxes are used to form the cores and come in different types like half core boxes and split core boxes. Core boxes require allowances to account for core expansion during casting. Examples of parts that use cores include split-core transformers and engine blocks.
