   • 1907, Albert L. Clough, The Operation, Care and Repair of Automobiles, page 295:

     Many expert babbitters heat their boxes and shafts to a temperature of about 180° before pouring, which insures them against cold sheets, and generally produces a much finer bearing surface and a more perfect casting.
