 OUR UNION BRICK MACHINES 
 
 W E were the originators of this type of stiff-mud brick machine, the first being placed 
 on the market in 1894. 
 
 They proved successful from the beginning, and have since become very popular. 
 Other sizes of the same general design have been added to our list from time to tune as has 
 seemed necessary, and all have been perfected in various detail as has been found best to most 
 completely fulfill their purposes. 
 
 They have various points of advantage. 
 
 In many cases the use of a separate Pug Mill or clay mixer can be avoided, as a long or short 
 feeding or mixing chamber is made a part of the construction. 
 
 Our “ J” Size Union Machine is here shown with long mixing chamber. 
 
 It is one of the largest, heaviest ever offered, and is suited for use in plants of largest capacity.

 T HE type of this machine here shown is made with short feeding chamber, and is intended 
 for use with a separate Pug Mill. 
 
 As the hopper or opening to receive the supply of clay is very large (54" x 30"), 
 clogging is avoided, and a steady and uniform supply of clay is fed to the auger chamber below, 
 thus tending to produce a more constant flow of clay from the die and, consequently, increasing 
 the average daily output. 
 
 The design of our Union machines is such that a feeding chamber of any length may he had 
 without the use of a long projection of the auger shaft beyond its journal bearing, and, besides 
 the fact that in these machines the projection is short, it is also true that in every case the auger 
 shaft is supported by three journal hearings.

 T HIS is a modification of the Union type of brick machine with respect to the feeding 
 chamber, which is closed for a part of its length, the effect of which is to somewhat 
 reduce the size of hopper opening, which in this case is 26 " x 26". In other respects 
 the construction is similar to that of the machines shown on the preceding pages, affording a 
 long feeding chamber with auger shaft supported by three journal bearings, and having short 
 overhang. 
 
 All these machines are mounted on steel I-beam sills connected by heavy cast-iron cross 
 beams, giving them unusual rigidity, and also affording a substantial method of attaching the 
 machine to its foundation. These sills are extended to receive the stand which supports the 
 out-board journal bearing for the pulley shaft. 
 
 It will be noted that the gearing, which is of massive proportions, is protected against dust 
 and accident by a removable casing which is provided with hinged openings for convenient 
 
 access.

 T HIS is our “M” Size Union Brick Machine, and, while similar to the “ ]” size, is some¬ 
 what smaller. 
 
 It is here shown with long mixing chamber, but it is also built with short chamber, 
 similar to that shown on page 6. 
 
 When the long mixing chamber is used a separate Pug Mill is usually not required, and all 
 the work of mixing and tempering the clay and moulding the brick is performed by a brick 
 machine of this type requiring only one driving belt, and the Pug Mill attendant, being immedi¬ 
 ately at hand, can easily observe the effect of any temper of the clay, and can be useful in various 
 ways in stopping or starting the machine by means of the lever on either side, in giving atten¬ 
 tion to the lubrication of the brick die, and in a general oversight of the machine and cutting 
 apparatus,— all of which are matters of considerable importance.

 O UR “L” or Intermediate Union Brick Machine is similar to the “ J” and “M” sizes 
 in general design, but is one size smaller than the “M.” 
 
 All our machines are made of good material, carefully selected for the different 
 parts of the work, each according to its purpose. Shafts of high-grade steel. Pinions of steel 
 casting. Mixing knives of crucible steel, forged and hardened where exposed to wear. 1 hese 
 are held in iron sockets made in two parts, completely covering the shaft. 
 
 Any knife or socket can be removed without disturbing any others on the shaft. 
 
 The augers are made of a mixture of extra hard metal. I bus these important parts which 
 revolve in the clay are made to best resist the wear from constant contact with more or less 
 gritty material.

 O UR Number One Union Brick Machine differs but slightly in design from that described 
 on the previous page, but is of still smaller size. 
 
 Its simple gearing, while not entirely enclosed, is protected by a covering at the top 
 
 and sides. 
 
 This machine is well suited to the manufacture of either brick or drain tde, and other similar 
 work. 
 
 In this, as in our other machines, a friction clutch pulley is provided, this being connected 
 to the levers at the front, by means of which the machine can be easily and quickly stopped, 
 or can be started while the driving belt continues in motion. 
 
 In all our machines great care has been taken in designing the gearing, in order that each 
 wheel may be of the proper proportions for strength and wear, and much attention has been 
 given to the shaping of the teeth to the proper curves, and the pattern teeth are accurately 
 machine cut.

 T HE Number Two Union Machine here shown is the smallest size we are now building, 
 and is similar in general design to the Number One size. It is used principally for the 
 manufacture of brick or drain tile. 1 he illustration shows this machine arranged lor 
 making brick, one ol our Standard Board Delivery Cutters being used. 
 
 It should be remembered that in our Union Machines the clay is constantly fed from the 
 mixing chamber to the auger by means ol curved arms on the mixer shalt. I hese are designed 
 so as to avoid dead clay between the mixer and auger chambers, and tendency to clog or failure 
 to feed is avoided. 
 
 All our Union Machines are provided with a renewable thrust bearing of marine type on 
 the auger shalt, and in most sizes on the mixer shaft also. 
 
 These improvements, first designed and made practical by ourselves many years ago, have 
 proved very satisfactory.

 “MAMMOTH” AUGER BRICK MACHINE 
 
 T HIS is a machine of massive and well-balanced proportions, and embodies many thor¬ 
 oughly tested improvements. 
 
 It is eminently successful in the manufacture of brick, hollow building blocks, fire¬ 
 proofing, etc. 
 
 We invite attention to the construction of the removable hinged front or head used in this 
 and most of our other machines, a heavy flange being provided at the front of the barrel by means 
 of which other heads can be conveniently attached, as may be required for special work. 1 he 
 hinged front is held in place by a safety bolt which gives way in case of undue or dangerous 
 pressure from the use of dry clay or other cause. 
 
 The excellence of our steam, oil, or water lubricated dies has long been recognized. 1 hey 
 are made of various proportions to best suit the nature of the clay. They can be very conveni¬ 
 ently renewed in case of wear, being held in place by substantial bolts, no trappy screws or 
 putty being used.

 “MAMMOTH JR.” AUGER BRICK MACHINE 
 
 S IMILAR to the “Mammoth,” but somewhat smaller in size, this machine includes all the 
 features of excellence found in that machine, and it is suited to the same class of work. 
 
 In both these machines a rotary force feed is used in and at one side of the hopper 
 for preventing the usual tendency of the clay to clog. This improvement is of our invention, 
 and has been long and successfully used by us. 
 
 One of the important features of our machinery is found in the fact that the parts used in 
 the construction are made from standard gauges or templates, and are interchangeable, and 
 new parts can be promptly furnished to fit in case renewal is required from wear or accident. 
 Each piece of casting bears a letter or number by which a duplicate can he ordered, or a brief 
 description of the location or use of the part wanted is sufficient. 
 
 A complete record is kept of the machinery and equipment furnished each customer.

 SIZE 40 ROTATING AUTOMATIC CUTTER 
 
 A I present we build three sizes of our Automatic Cutters of this type, this being the largest, 
 and it is designed for special work of large size — such as Norman brick, hollow radial 
 ^chimney blocks, etc. It can also he used for standard brick, but it is not so well suited 
 to large capacity in standard brick as the Size 24 Cutter. 
 
 Convenient lateral adjustment of the cutting part of the apparatus and vertical adjustment 
 of the measuring table by means of screws is provided, when necessary, to suit varying sizes of 
 dies, without disturbing the separating table. It will receive a bar of clay thirteen inches wide, 
 and is modified, when necessary, to receive larger sizes. 
 
 The general design and all the details of these Cutters have been carefully studied, with the 
 view of securing simple and durable construction, positive operation, and the cutting of clay 
 wares to exact and uniform thickness and with smooth edges.

 OUR ROTATING AUTOMATIC CUTTERS 
 
 4 S is true of many other important improvements in Clay Working Machinery, we were 
 j—\ the pioneers in the invention of Automatic Cutters of this type, which have practically 
 revolutionized the production of high-grade side-cut brick. 
 
 With these machines the brick are cut with great exactness, square, straight, and of uniform 
 thickness, and owing to the shearing movement of the cutting wires, the edges are left very 
 smooth and perfect. 
 
 As the clay bar issues continuously from the brick die it is first received on a measuring belt, 
 thence it passes onto the cutting apparatus provided with narrow slots for the passage of the 
 cutting wires, thence, after being cut into brick thicknesses, onto the separating or carrying- 
 away belt, which moves faster than the clay bar, and therefore separates the brick for convenient 
 removal. 
 
 The intermittently revolving cutting reel has three steel bars with fixtures for holding the 
 outer ends of the wires, the inner ends being attached to hooks forming a part of each of a series 
 of rings revolving in and exactly supported by three grooved bars. 1 he fixtures and hooks are 
 especially designed with guides to support each end of the wires exactly in proper place. 
 
 No central shaft used to support platen plates, these being attached directly to the side bar, 
 which is made in one continuous casting.

 OUR ROTATING AUTOMATIC CUTTERS 
 
 W HEN the clay bar and measuring belt have moved a hxed distance, the cutting reel 
 starts into motion completing one cut while at the same time it is moved longitudi¬ 
 nally in unison with the moving clay, insuring a straight cut. This is an important 
 point and is most successfully accomplished in these machines independently of the degree of 
 lubrication of the platen surface. 
 
 Power is applied to both the measuring belt and the Cutting Reel from the driving shaft, thus 
 relieving the clay bar from this work and consequent liability to bulge or swell. 
 
 Cutting wires can be renewed without interruption or the loss of a single brick. 
 
 The reel rings and the cutter carriage are carried on traveler rollers, avoiding lubrication. 
 There are no parts to be obstructed or worn by waste clay. 
 
 The cutting wires are short between supports, affording greatest rigidity. A polished 
 smoothing roller is used at discharge end of Cutter, giving the surface or faces of the brick an 
 additional finish. I he surfaces of the platen and side bar can be inexpensively renewed. 1 he 
 platen and its parts can be readily removed and another set can be substituted when the thick¬ 
 ness of the brick is to be changed. 
 
 These Cutters have earned a wide-spread reputation for excellence.

 T his machine is operated by hand, but is constructed upon the same general plan as 
 our Automatic Cutters, and produces straight brick of uniform thickness with smooth 
 and perfect edges. It is designed for plants whose capacity does not justify the expense 
 of an Automatic Cutter, or where a cutter of more portable character is desirable to permit the 
 substitution of other cutters to suit the cutting of drain tile or other work. 
 
 Four sets of cutting wires are used in this cutter (instead of three, as in our Automatic Cut¬ 
 ters), each coming into operation successively. The fixtures for attaching the wires are similar 
 to those used in our other cutters, by which the loop can be easily and immediately connected, 
 and the wires are given the proper tension without the use of adjusting screws. 
 
 Only one operating lever is used the down movement cuts the brick, and the up movement 
 returns the carriage to the die ready for the next cut. No auxiliary levers, treadles, or wheels 
 are required. 
 
 The separating belt is usually driven by a horizontal shaft extended to receive power from 
 shaft of brick machine or other convenient source.

 T HIS is a modification of our well-known 
 Standard Board Delivery Cutters, in which 
 the movement of cutting wires is horizontal. 
 In this Cutter the wires have both vertical and hori¬ 
 zontal movement. In passing through the clay the 
 wires move downward, producing a draw cut, thus 
 tending to make the edges of the brick smoother. Can 
 be used for cutting Roman, Norman, and 
 standard brick. The stroke is adjustable to 
 suit size of work. The working parts are 
 accurately machine finished. The move¬ 
 ments are made on anti-friction or carrier 
 rollers.

 T HIS Cutter is intended for cutting hollow building 
 blocks and similar work. The carrier plates move 
 with the clay. No sliding, and, therefore, no lubricat¬ 
 ing is required. The cutting bow is moved by the carrier plates, 
 a square cut, and of proper length. Wires pass down 
 in narrow slots between carrier 
 plates. The blocks can be received 
 on a pallet held by the attendant to
