Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, tall chimneys were built, at the beginning with bricks, and later also of concrete or steel.Although chimneys never held the absolute height record, they are among the tallest free-standing architectural structures and often hold national records (as tallest free-standing or as overall tallest structures of a country).
View of Newmarket with the brickworks chimney on the left, circa 1925. The brick chimney is located along Mina Parade, approximately 40 metres (130 ft) from the road. Access to the site is via an easement. The chimney rises to a height of approximately 55 metres (180 ft), and is, consequently, a prominent landmark.
The museum also features a chimney tower which is a remaining from the previous coal mining activities in the area. Built in the early 1900s, the chimney is a rectangular-shape structure with 32 metres in height. [3] It is fully built by red bricks counted up to 23,000 pieces which were imported from the United Kingdom. [6]
The 2:1 ratio of modular bricks means that when they turn corners, a 1/2 running bond is formed without needing to cut the brick down or fill the gap with a cut brick; and the height of modular bricks means that a soldier course matches the height of three modular running courses, or one standard CMU course.
In the making of firebrick, fire clay is fired in the kiln until it is partly vitrified.For special purposes, the brick may also be glazed. There are two standard sizes of fire brick: 229 mm × 114 mm × 76 mm (9 in × 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 3 in) and 229 mm × 114 mm × 64 mm (9 in × 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). [2]
Stronger and less porous engineering bricks (UK Class A) are usually blue due to the higher firing temperature [3] whilst class B bricks are usually red. Class A bricks have a strength of 125 N/mm 2 (18,100 lb f /sq in) and water absorption of less than 4.5%; Class B bricks have a strength greater than 75 N/mm 2 (10,900 lb f /sq in) and water ...
An OTF knife, showing the sliding blade being extended from the handle. A sliding knife is a knife that can be opened by sliding the knife blade out the front of the handle. One method of opening is where the blade exits out the front of the handle point-first and then is locked into place (an example of this is the gravity knife).
