shape.
This machine and one other at Nerwalk
have been running steadily for a month
now, and were 80 perfect when they left
the shop that no changes have been nee
essary except.som adjustments they saw
| fit TO make. .Aa
They procured several tons OF fire-clay
to experiment with, mixed with one third
"grog," which Is ground up friedrich etc.
and which heretofore no machine has been
able to successfully mould stiff enough TO
suit the friedrich manufactures. But the
machine handled 1t with ease the first
time trying with one-half the pressure,
and several friedrich manufacturers who
saw the work kept up for several hours
to their entire satisfaction, told Bennett
Dros, & Co. to put machines on their
yards as soon as they had them 10 sell.
Also several red or common brick manu-
factures have told them the same thing,
and they are oil waiting and anxious for
the improved machine, asking when they
can have them.
At their Office they showed us the
drawings of this same machine In prin-
siple, which will be what they will soon
market.
They are constructed entirely Of iron
and steel, and when the very few paris to
do so many complicated things are
noticed, 1t is wonder Of simplicity,
They claim that there is not a single point
lacking that they ever heard Of being re.
quired in brick machine.
1t will be run by one belt, and only one
machine is necessary to work the clay into
brick direct from the bank. The temp
ering knives are double ended, and make
three complete revolutions to each mold
of brick, or by changing one set OF gears
this can be made four or five.
The wide blade at the front, or wiper
reaches and passes directly over the ends
as well as the middle Of the press-box
The press has the most power OF any
ever devised, and is also the simplest.
The machine is half simpler than any
thing before deyised to do the same work.
No wear is possible except the natural
wear OF the gearing etc. as none OF the
clay comes In contact with any wearing
surfaces or joints.
Stones and other distractions are re-
lieved ~ same as In their "New Quaker"
machine, and II is impossible to catch a
mould, so that expensive, complicated and
unreliable safety devices are not necessary
as they are in other machines.
Their patents Tor the machine have
been pending good many months, they
having protected their ideas long ago
in several different forms. They have
heard from the patent Office making the
final corrections and they will soon be
issued In our conversation with
them they stated they were going
surely but slowly with this mach
Inc but would soon be "out Of the
woods" when they would comnence their
shollering,n which we shall be glad to
hear, for successful manufacturing es-
Adjustments help town the most Of any.
thing; and from what little knowledge we
ourselves have Of machinery We are able to
see the many advantages this machine has
TO brick maker. Their other machine
having sold so freely we predict that they
will soon double or treble their business
with their improved machine.
