Bricks heated by waste heat at New Oxford plant
The New Oxford brick works operate ten kilns burning 85,000 bricks per cycle. Kilns reach 2000 degrees F and use natural gas, with a 12 day cycle and four days burning. Four weeks pass from clay digging to finished brick, aided by waste heat in drying. The Alwine company, with about 23 million bricks annually, touts long wall and mileage equivalents. A July 2 1957 sale of farm machinery in Elizabethtown is announced with many brands and lots for cash.
