2. Which of the following reason is not valid for pattern colouring?
a) Identification of main body
b) Visualising the to be machined surface
c) Indication of the type of metal
d) Locating parting surface
Answer: d
Clarification: Locating pattern surface is one of the steps of pattern construction, whereas the identification of the main body, visualising the, to be machined surface and indication of the type of metal are the reasons as to why a pattern is imparted colour.
3. Green colour is used for machined cast surface.
