Abstract

A method for making concrete roof tiles includes the steps of forming a continuous elongated ribbon or layer of concrete; cutting the continuous layer into a row of spaced end to end ribbon sections having a front edge and a rear edge; precompacting the front edge of one of two adjacent ribbon sections and compacting the precompacted front edge of the other ribbon section.
