FROM BLOCK TO CUBES: This cubing machine cuts three bushels of ice cubes an hour with red-hot blades. They melt their way through the ice blocks crossways and vertically, the cubes dropping down into the trough. Thomas Bauer holds a 50-pound block prior to putting it into the machine. It takes 20 minutes to reduce this block into cubes. The large machine in the background is a cuber which operates by saws. Used only in the rush season, it will saw 20 bushels an hour.
