The figures in Fig 7show a few of the more usually employed sections—those at the right being drain-pipes, those in the middlefor building purposes, and the left-hand ones for roof-ing use. In addition to the machines for brick and tile making,which we have thus pretty copiously illustrated, thereare other machines almost innumerable for makingspecial forms in plastic or in dry clay, referable to thegreat family of bricks and tiles. A great tribe ofthese machines, to which our space forbids our makingany allusion, is employed in Great
