No. 293,596; Reissue, No. 10,524.The above is a cut of the Eureka Machine, which was invented in December,1882, patented February 12th, 1884,reissued September 23rd, 1884, to which we respectfully invite the attention of those interested in the manufacture ofbrick.Experience has demonstrated the fact that for durability, brick surpass all other materials for building; also,that brick made by the dry process, while being much more sightly, are vastly cheaper and far superior to those made

by the old process.The brick made upon this machinehave been subjected to the severests tests, and we state,without the fear of contradiction, that they are the strongest in the United States.The Eureka has nowmadebeen in practical operation for two years; has been shipped in every direction, and hasfor itself a most enviable reputation.during the past season.most useful and importantadhesionThemachinewenowoffer has many improvementsover those soldThese improvements are such as only actual use of the machine would suggest.One of theof these improvements is the device for heating the dies with steam, thereby preventingof clay to them, and adds many thousand to the daily yield.Eureka to be a perfect machine for making brick.theWith these improvements we believe theSimple in construction, it possesses more pressing power than anyother dry press, and can be operated without the additionalexpense of having a machine-shop on the yard.Thismachine was first brought prominently before the public in the fall of 1883, at the Southern Exposition, Louisville,Ky., where it was universally pronounced the best brick machine ever exhibited in this country. The Committee onBrick Machinescomposed of three old and experienced brick makers—recommended for it the highest award underthe following claims, to wit:first.Second.Third.fourth.‘* Great power, strength, and durability, with simplicity in construction.”‘*'That it will make more brick in ten hours than any other dry press, except the Hydraulic Machine.’’‘* That it can be changed in twenty minutes and adjusted so as to make either common or stock brick.”‘* Superiorityin point of adjustment;Fifth.it being adjustable in all its parts so as to work any kind of clay.’’‘Its simplicity and not liable to get out of order; every movement being osztive and very substantial.’’Stxth.‘In application of pressure;all parts of the brick, above andbelow, being equally pressed, leavingnogranulation in the center.’’Seventh.‘‘ It being so constructed that the clay is kept entirely away from its working parts, which is not the casewith any other dry press.”’Eighth.Ninth.‘ Any part of the machine can be reached and taken-out without taking it to pieces.’’‘* Superiority in feeding and delivery of the brick.By meansof elevatorit is fed automatically, thebrick being delivered on the table in front, from which they are removed by the truck-men.”’Considering all of these claims, the Committee caused the following recognition to be made of the Eureka:‘* The Southern Exposition, at Louisville, Kentucky, 1883.
