After stiff mud bricks have been formed they may betaken to sheds to dry out by natural air currents or theymay be taken to hot air dryers for the removal of moisturebefore they go to the kilns to be burned. The handling ofundried bricks from the machine to the dryer and from thedryer to the kilns by means of lift platform cars is probablythe simpler and cheaper method in most cases. The carsused for the purpose have platforms about Sj^ ft. long and. Fig. 54—Lift Platform Car 2y2. ft. wide, a height of about 20 in. and a lift of from 3 in.to 4 in. As the bricks are formed they are placed on pallets holdingabout 200 bricks each. A car is then run under the palletsand the platform is elevated to lift off two pallets, or about400 bricks. After being pushed on the transfer and run intothe desired point in the dryer, the platform is lowered andthe load is deposited on rests. Another lift platform carand transfer is used for handling the dry brick from theother end of the dryer or shed to the kilns. Car Transfers In laying out industrial railway systems it often happensthat the use of switches is not practical. In some such placesturntables at intersecting points will satisfactorily meet therequirements. In other places the use of car transfers willgive the best results. As their name implies, car transfersare used where there are no switches and turnouts to trans-fer cars from one track to an
