...There's a machine extruding curbs on the roadbed under reconstruction near my office. In goes wet concrete, out comes fully-shaped and properly placed curbs. No wooden forms, no human shaping of the curbs at all as far as I can tell. I have to admit I'm sort of entranced- I had no idea they could do that. They've nearly finished with both sides of the road, no more than a day and a half after they started. We have the technology!
