KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEAVING -[MTACniNES. This, tho latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in the world " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Kkowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the construction render it well worth examining. As a matter of fact the horizontal feed is common to many machines, and the term has therefore no signification of importance. But in the White machine there ia this marked improvement on many other varieties—that tho feed plate acts on either side of the needle, in other words, the work is pushed aloDg as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, aud it enables the operator to sow along the right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprinsr. A large mass o material could therefore be passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of injury. The entire mechanism ia of the most simple character, and so httlo friction is there that one ffiav run the midline— almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of tho machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch ia thrown back, aud the sewino- mechanism is thereby disconnected from the drivhi" gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, the more turning of a scrow effects a refitting of the friction Eiirfaccd One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in tho tensioli arrangement of the shuttle. 1 here arc no holes to be threaded, as is commonly the case • but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by ' the action of a spring whicii can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on tho under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Piice lists, etc., and fuller particulars enn be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, General Merohahi, hastings street, Napier.
