27 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for dehacking and stacking brick or the like are disclosed for automatically removing arrays of brick from a back and for producing stacks of arrays suitable for packaging. A gripper transfer grips full arrays of brick resting on the kiln car and deposits such arrays on one of two compacting tables. While resting on the tables, the arrays are compacted to ensure lengthwise and lateral abutting alignment of the brick in the arrays. The brick are subsequently transferred after compacting directly to a stacking elevator on which the stack is formed. One compacting table is utilized to produce void rows and operates to withdraw compacted arrays from the stacking location so that brick can be removed to produce the required voids. The array with void rows is then returned to the stacking station for transfer to the stacking elevator at appropriate times in the machine cycle. The arrays consist of upper and lower courses and the void rows are formed only in the upper courses so that a full lower course can be gripped to support the void row course during transfer from the compacting table to the stack.
