Default OT - Does the work of four people

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...hard-work.html

Four times as fast as a single person laying bricks on his own.

No comparison with laying concrete or tarmac.

"Tiger-Stone workers are able to lay out 400 square metres of new road every
day"

Firstly there must be a substrate to lay the bricks on.
Secondly, once the substrate is there then a tar cruncher or redi mix
concrete machine should be able to match this.

Having just staggered outside in the cold and paced across our suburban
street it is a good 8 paces wide.
Say this equates to 7.5 metres.
This machine can lay around 50 metres of surburban street a day once all the
preparation has been done.

Amazing ground breaking invention?

Also, wouldn't it be cheaper just to employ four people?

Cheers

Digging coal out of the ground with your bare hands is cheaper than
using a pick and shovel, but I'd go for using machinery that minimises
destroying the people doing the job any time.
