ABSTRACT:
Bricks (or other block-like articles) are automatically selectively set either "edgewise" or "flatwise" onto a platform such as a kiln car. The operational mode can be conveniently and automatically programmed to change from edge setting to flat setting and vice versa so that, for example, a hack of uncured bricks can be formed of flats (layers) alternating between edge and flat set as may be desired for subsequent curing operations in a kiln. In the flat setting mode, groups of bricks are turned by 90.degree. before they are grouped and transferred as a layer of "flat" oriented bricks for hacking. In the edge setting mode, such bricks are grouped and transferred as a layer of "edge" oriented bricks onto a hack. Special techniques are employed to facilitate changes between these two modes of operation.
