BRITISH PATENT BRICK CONIPANV
CAPITAL £300,000, in Shares of £5O each.
The projected improvements in the manufacture of this article
will consist in the application of steam machinery to the prepar.
tion of the materials and formation of the bricks, both of which
have hitherto been accomplished principally by manual labour.
Instead of exposing the bricks to constant change of atmosphere
abroad, the process of drying will he completed in covered pre-,
mises, strongly heated by the engine fires.
This project embraces a considerable saving in substituting ma-
chinery tor manual labour : a security against the destructive effects
of frost or wet weather whilst the bricks are drying, only 48 hours
being thus required to prepare them for the kiln, which now °ctn.
pies two months : a certainty of being able to work all the year
round—a moat important desideratum d a saving in the expense of
manufacturing the article, calculated at nearly GO per cent.
Finally, the patent is not confined to the metropolis, but gene-
' rally applicable to any part of the United Kingdom. The Com-
pany's capital may be thus beneficially and safely employed, un-
der the exclusive protection of their patent, in the erection of en.
jinn and apparatus for the production of this staple for building
in any populous or increasing district which may be considered
eligible.
