Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 January 1912 — Handling Brick by Machinery. [ARTICLE]

Handling Brick by Machinery.

The idea of handling brick by m W . chinery originated in New England. In 1909 a system of handling from 600 to 1,000 bricks on a somewhat different plan was put into successful operation, and is now being used in Chicago. By this system it Is possible for the brick to be carried from the molding machine to the drier, from the drier to the Uln, and from the kiln to the stock yard or the delivery car or cart without being touched by hand. Each of these machines Is said to do the work of forty men.
