In order to join a starting head (9) to a cast strand, a cavity (13) is formed for the head by discs (8) connected to meltable plates (11) sealing an inlet for molten metal into the cavity. The head (9) has projecting arms (9a) which assist in forming connection with the strand. A probe (16) detects filling of the cavity (13) so that withdrawal of the head (9) from the mould (1) may then commence. <IMAGE> |
