AN improved brick machine, capa-
bic of delivering 10000 bricks per
day, is described in the London pa
pcrs. The first shaft, which is car
ried on all outside bracket, gears by
means of a pinion into two equal cog
wheels. which drive, respectively, the
one the upright Plugging shaft and
top mould, and the other the final flu
Iishing press. The latter is formed by
an overhead cross-head carrying o
stamp. and connected with the shaft
below by two craEks and connecting
rods. This cross-head and stamp des-
cend into the die in the table below,
into which the brick has been deliv-
cred, and finally compress and harden
it; underneath the table and die is an.
other revolving crank or cam, which,
rs it rises, pushes the finished brick
from the mould, ready for delivery.
As all these various actions are auto
matte, the only labor required is that
of an attendant to remove the bricks
to the kiln trucks or barrow. Much
Of the gearing is mortice-toothed, and
therefore Of the best quality, and the
power required TO drive the machine
is stated to be from eight to ten horse
