MANUFACTURING BRICKS by STEAM
Several of our enterprising fellow-citi-
zens, headed by Hardy Solomon, Esq,
have commenced the manufacture of
bricks on on extensive scale, aided by
steam power. The yard is located near
Broad River Bridge. They have pro
cured one of Winn's patent machines,
which will turn out an average of 40, 600
bricks per day, and can, in an emergency,
exceed even that number. While we
wero present, they moulded 1880 in
about fifteen minutes. Mr.. G. A. VIM,
the inventor, was present, and superin-
tended the working of the machine
which was turned over to the company,
yesterday-and from him we obtained ma
ny interesting particulars. The cost is
little over $4,000, and the proprietor
agrees to furnish them in good order and
keep them so for one year, or the money
will be returned. The following brief
description will give all idea what the
machine can really do:
"rhe principle upon which this ma-
chine makes brick is similnr to that of
the brick machines in use on the Hud-
son River, in the vicinity of Haverstraw
where more brick are annually manu.
factured than in any other one locality
in the United States, the amount per day
ranging from one to three millions; but
the arrangement for tempering the clay
and moulding has been greatly improved
and simplifed, whereby the capacity of
the machine is more than doubled, and
the quality of the brick greatly improved,
making better and stronger brick thnn
is there made, or can be made by the
hand process. The machine is combined
with its motive power, being steam
boiler, engine and brick machine coin
bned, the whole made portable by being
constructed upon wheels, and can be
easily moved upOn n frncL Tho ~.
