Note that this is not "block laying", which is about setting blocks in place with mortar. These machines make blocks and, though they can simultaneously deposit them in place, that is not really block-laying unless it is on the final substrate. It certainly is NOT slab laying, as slabs are far too big for this method of production.

"Laying" in this case is more a reference to hens than to bricklayers.

  -> No, it is block-making. See links above to English and French videos. They are, very obviously, the same sort of machine.
