BRICKLAYING BY ELECTRICITY An electric bricklaying machine which it is claimed lays 1,200 bricks an hour, is the latest application of electric energy to industry. Upon rails placed around the out- side walls of a building, a traveling boom is set, and upon this are the mortar tank and laying mechanism, driven by a 3-horsepower electric mo- tor. The laying wheel rotates; taking two bricks from the carrier, while an- other wheel spreads mortar as the car- rier moves along the boom. At the end of the wall the machine changes direction and proceeds as be- fore until it has laid one row of bricks entirely around the building. The boom is then raised the thickness of one row of mortar and bricks, and another trip begins.
