Brick Cutter

After the bricks are cut by the wires from the hydraulic ram pushing them through, they are loaded onto motorized carts to be taken to some ladies who will stack them into neat rows to dry. The returning motorized cart will bring the bamboo boards back to be used again. The man on the left will pick up the board for the next set of bricks. Each time, the ram cuts out 20 bricks.
