Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Brickmaking In the present volume, the Author has endeavoured to con dense the results of a wide practical experience of all the better known processes, machines, and kilns now in use - both in this country and on the Continent - into convenient limits, and to express this information in terms which shall be readily under stood by all interested in the subject. In other words, he has aimed at clearing up ideas regarding the various processes and appliances used in modern brickmaking and to remove various obscurities at present prevailing in many minds. In this work the Author has had the hearty cc-operation of all the chief firms who supply machines, kilns, and other requirements of the brickmaker, together with the assistance of numerous authors of papers, booklets, and larger treatises (both British and Foreign). Their names will usually be found attached to the illustrations, though the publication of anony mous articles in the trade journals prevents acknowledgment in some cases. Whilst it is not possible to give a complete list, the Author hereby acknowledges, with thanks, his indebtedness to all who have been of assistance to him in the manner indicated, as well as to various members of his staff, without Whose aid this volume could not so readily have been written.
