Recording wattmeter determinations of power, moisture content and production rates were secured on an individually motor driven auger machine for each of two standard brick dies, with and without cores. Variation in these factors was recorded. Use of cores causes a great increase in power consumption per thousand brick. Moisture content variation ranged from 17.7 to 20.1%.
