Block forms for receiving concrete

A block system for receiving concrete, comprising:

• a plurality of blocks including a first block, a second block and a third block, each of said blocks having a height and a length;
• a vertical connector for interconnecting said first and second blocks with said second block being vertically above said first block, said vertical connecter including means disposed outwardly of portions of said first and second blocks for controlling movement of said second block relative to said first block in a direction substantially perpendicular to said height of said first block;
• a lateral connector for interconnecting said first block and said third block with said third block being laterally adjacent to said first block, said lateral connector for controlling movement of said third block relative to said first block in a direction substantially perpendicular to said height of said first block;
• and
• reinforcing rod means extending along at least a substantial majority of said lengths of said first and third blocks;
• wherein each of said first and third blocks includes first and second sidewalls located at ends of each of said first and third blocks, said lateral connector including a platform having a length and at least a first leg that join together said second sidewall of said first block and said first sidewall of said third block and with said platform having a length that extends substantially less than said length of said first block and extends substantially less than said length of said third block, said first leg extending along a height of said second sidewall of said first block and in which said reinforcing rod means has a substantially greater length than said platform and said length of said platform terminates adjacent to each of said second sidewall of said first block and said first sidewall of said third block.
