Your point about the structural difference between the small and large bricks is a valid point so you're on the right path.

Before I looked at the Tinius Olsen site, I was going to call over to the mechanical and civil engineering labs at my old alma mater, Villanova U., since they have some large Tinius Olsen machines, as well as my old favorite, the Instron which was able to maintain a constant test load even as the test sample distorted. However, I figured that they're all probably over there crying in their beers for blowing their chances to get into the NCAA basketball final sweet sixteen ...to St. Mary's no less! Isn't that a girl's school?
