Brick machine; drain-pipe machine; model of brick machine drawings.
The model of this BRICK-MAKING MACHINE is an elaborate and ingenious piece of mechanism, well worth the attention of visitors to the Exhibition. It represents a machine calculated to make 75,000 highly finished bricks per day.
It cleans, mixes, and presses the rough clay into moulds the required size of the bricks, which are conveyed from the machine to the drying places or kilns on peculiarly constructed waggons, a model of which is shown with the model machine. The inventor has provided machines of four different sizes, constructed to produce respectively 25,000, 30,000, 50,000, 75,000 and upwards per diem.
The illustration No. 1 represents a view of the smallest, or No. 1 machine, producing 25,000 bricks per day, a full-sized working machine is in the Exhibition.
The PATENT BRICK AND TILE MAKING MACHINE is shown in illustration No. 2. This machine is constructed to produce common bricks, roofing tiles, drain and floor tiles, and similar articles at any required length and size; it cleans and mixes the clay, and is calculated to produce 30,000 drain tiles per diem, of 2 in. bore, and, according to size or length more or less.
In the Exhibition, besides the above-named models, and full-sized working machine, are highly finished drawings on a large scale, representing several of the brick machines; the waggons used to convey the bricks from the machine to the drying places and kilns; and also the apparatus for carrying the rough clay to the brick machine.
