By the arrangement shown in Fig. 67 no gangway is required, and horses are not compelled to haul the clay up

an incline to get over the machine, hence they can take more at a load, or it makes their work much less. All wastage, such as defective brick (from stones where rollers are not used), or improperly tempered or moistened clay that should be worked over, is carried at once back into the machine without labor; and where clays are to be particularly well mixed for pressed or other special bricks, the clay can be run over and over without any handling-the offbearing belt delivering the bricks that are to be worked. over, or all those not off-borne by the boys, direct to the elevator belt.

It is true that it is not always desirable to place the elevator as it is represented, and especially so where the bricks are off-borne two or three hundred feet by machinery, as in that case there is not much to be gained by this particular location of the elevator relative to the off-bearing frames.

The Centennial Tiffany Combined Brick and Tile Machine, shown in Fig. 68, was first exhibited at the Exposition of 1876, at Philadelphia, where a medal was awarded to the inventor, and this suggested its name. The inventor, Mr. Geo. S. Tiffany, resided at that time at London, Ontario; but in 1878, Frey, Sheckler, & Hoover, of Bucyrus, O., secured the right to manufacture the machine for the United States, and have, through the merits of the machine and business enterprise, increased the sales to an unexpected extent. The adaptability of this invention to the various branches in the clay business brought it in use for purposes which the inventor probably never contemplated while constructing it. The machine weighs 3500 pounds, made
