Books Added to J~ibrary. 75 Mr. Chambers gave an interesting description of the practical difficulties overcome in adapting the machinery to work all kinds of clay, iust as it comes from the bank. The machinery is entirely automatic. Clay is fed into a hopper, and without further handling comes out on an endless traveling belt a perfectly moulded and sanded brick, ready to be dried and baked.
Mr. Chambers also exkibited samples of brick of various forms, and some of them made with large admixture of iron ore, and displayed on the screen diagrams of machines similar to those for brick making, intended to be employed in moulding artificial fuel in any desired ibrm. He also stated that one of the machines was employed with excellent results at Lebanon in compressing iron ore that in its natural state would clog the furnaces, but can be used to good advantage if first moulded into bricks of convenient form.
The meeting was thereupon adjourned.
