coursing block


Explanation:
I think they mean a coursing block or brick:
https://www.forterra.co.uk/thermalite-and-aggregrate-blocks/...
"Thermalite Hi-Strength Coursing Blocks are autoclaved aerated blocks for use in bonding and infill to ensure that a uniform thermal performance is achieved throughout the wall. Hi-Strength Coursing Blocks are also available for use in walls built of Hi-Strength 7 or 10 blocks. The Thermalite Hi-Strength Coursing Blocks retain the standard 440mm block length so reduce the number of mortar joints required when detailing, saving time and money."
