Lime Used in Process

The lime used in the process is made,
from calcium limestone bearing a
chemical analysis of at least ninety
per cent lime, with the balance in
varying amounts of aluminium and
ma agnesia. The lime is crushed and
reduced to a fine powder which passes
through a one-sixteenth inch mesh
screen. This lime is elevated from the
crusher and lime house to a bin erect
ed by the side of and connected with
the granite bin. Under the lime bin
is a suitable feeder connected to the
Same shaft as is the granite feeder,
and by automatic measuring conveys
accurately any quantity of lime re-
Quired, usually about five per cent.
The lime fed in this way is discharged
into the same chute as the portion of
granite which is to be ground, and
with 1t on the same conVeyor passes
into the tube mfll, where both are
ground together in their passage
through the tube mill, thereby forming
n granite-lime powder which will pass
through a very fine mesh screen
When this finely ground granite and
lime leaves the discharge end of the
tube mill 1t is delivered into the blade
mixer where, as stated above, 1t joins
with the larger portion of unground
granite and is thoroughly mixed with
it, filling all the voids or interstices
between the larger grains OF granite.

Absorption Tests

Average ............,..527 lbs. per So inch
REQUIRED ............4 $50 lbs per So inch
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-22
Claims in Brief

Reasons why the bricks manufac-
tured by the United states Granite
Pressed Brick company are superior to
any others: Every brick is uniform in
shane. quality and color; there Is no
waste of material or labor in cuttings;
they may be tinted In every color and
nodded in any form: they lay faster and
with much less mortar because Of their
true shape; they stand all kinds of
heat, cold and climatic changes; when
exposed to the elements they become
stronger; the percentage of Absorption
of moisture can be controlled and there
fore kept as low as desired; in twenty
four hours the crude material is con-
verted into brick ready to be laid in
the wall; machinery supplies and work.
men are sheltered within the fac
tory buildings and the plant never sus-
pends operations because of weather
conditions.

necessary, so that the material will be
in perfect condition for the press.
Pressed Into Form
After the material has been pressed
into form, each brick being submitted to
a pressure of 350,0O0 pounds, they are
placed on small cars which have
capacity Of one thousand each. The
bricks are laid closely on these cars
and stacked on top of each other, the
brick being strong enough when leav-
ing the press molds to Withstand the
weight Of a person standing on them
without crushing or cracking. These
small cars are then moved into a steel
cylinder about six feet in diameter and
seventy-five feet long, built to with
stand steam pressure of one hundred
and fifty pounds per square inch, with
large factor of safety This cylinder
is built with a removable head at both
ends, and the heads are supported by
cranes built on top of and near each
end of the cylinder, thereby obviatlng
manual labor in lifting(when removing
or replacing the heads, (which are very
heavy.
The Hardening Process
After the cars of brick have been
placed in this cylinder and the heads
of the cylinder securely fastened, steam
a pressure of one hundred and twenty
five pounds per square inch for about
ten hours this work usually being
done at night.
In the cvIinder certain chemicals of
a secret formula are deposited in such
a manner that the steam as 1t enters
is thoroughly impregnated. which re-
suits in the proper hardening of the
,brick-a quick. thorough and permanent
chemical action taking place which
forms tenacious and perfectly uni
form bond.
The Finishing Touch
After the brick have been submitted
to the steam for sufficient length of
time the head at the dischargng end
of the cylinder is removed and the en-
tire trainload of twenty cars is hauled
out ALI at once, and after few hours
cooling the bricks are ready for the
market. The entire process of manu-
facture requires but twentv-four hours,
and the only personal hanSline required
is the taking of the brick from the press
table and stacking them on the cars,
this handling. recurring the service of
but two ordinary laborers.
Comparison Of Brick Tests
Following is comparison of tests
between Rose" clay brick and granite
pressed brick. These figures are taken
from signed reports of Professor Ira
H. Woolson of the mechanical engi-
neering department of Columbia uni
Versity.
Professor Woolson has at his COM
mand at the university one of the most
modern and complete testing labora-
tories In this country where he makes
the official tests for the New York
building department, and where he

Method Of HYdratIon

In the first half of the mixer the
granite and lime are thoroughly mixed
dry, each particle of granite being COM
pletely covered with lime dust, and in
the second half the necessary quantity
of water is added to slake or hydrate
the lime thoroughly I'm the granite,
thereby beginning the formation of the

hours The following day the material
is drawn from. the hydration bin on a

elevator which discharges the material
