Dumping Clay for Brick Machine

After the men at the clay cliff have loaded the tractor/wagon with clay, it is driven here to the brick machine location. In the lower right of the picture you can see the lower end of the conveyor belt that carries the clay to the machine. It is dumped there and off goes the driver with the wagon for more clay. The two ladies then stay to shovel enough clay onto the conveyor belt so bricks can continue to be made.
