Referring to the drawings, the machine consist-s of a container 1 of a width corresponding to the width of the wallto be built. The drawings show, for example, a machine for awall of two stretcher bricks in thickl j ness. The container 1 has a hopper portion 2 kThis vdoor 7,*as shown in Figures 4 and 5has Yits lowerfedge so posltloned as to leave a mouth '9 above the lower edges 10 'of the side walls 'between the brickwork and the lower edge of the door. This mouth corresponds to" the thickness of the layer of mortar required tor the bed on the upper surface of'each courset of brickwork. The door is controlled by a rody 11 wherebyV it maybe brought into the positionfshown in dotted lines in Figure 4, thereby closing theY neck 6 and held in that position by a book-12 engaging the edge 13 Voi" the wall 3.
