CONCRETE BLOCK TEACHINGS.

The marvelo US advance in the
manufacture and use of concrete
reinforced and in block form for
residential and business con.
struction has opened new era
10 the present day builder. It
has made possible an absolutely
fireproof skyscraper and a non-
infiam mable cottage. IL has
eliminated the constantly recur
rng expenseincident topaiuting
shrinking and cracking of house
walls. 1t has madecoal bills less
in winter and assured coolness
in summer It has reduced the
cost of fire insurance. 1t has
made possible structure which
is q guarantee of its own dura
bility, as concrete improves with
age. Rain, frost, and heat and
the violent change OF weather,
which cause wood TO warp aud
rot and beick to .crumble, have
no effect on the structure built
of concrete. With all these
advantages, concrete has the
merit of cheapness: and so great
has been the demand for its use,
that more than thousand firms
and individuals are engaged in
its manufacture, and more than
three hundred makes Of machine
turning out concrete blocks are
on the market. These machines
cover wide and increasing field
Nor is their use confined to the
production of blocks alone.
They are employed to turn out
shingles, posts, pillars, cornices,
andornamentai designs, often of
intricate pattern. Tney vary

two hundred blocks a day with

red blocks day for the power

general they may be divided in
to two classe the side face and

as a guiding fact for the reader,
that any machine with a vertical
core is of necessity a side face.
aud any machine using hori-
zontal core, down face machine.
