KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THB NEW WHITE, HOEIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of contradiction) / THE BEST /OF ALL KNOWN OEWING -itTACHINES. . This, the latest claimant for the the position o .* "Cheapest and Best , in the world "isto be seenatthe i' Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastingß-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 is this marked improvement on many other varieties —that the feed plate acts on either side of the needle. In other words, the work 3 is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, and it enables the operator to sew along the right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same 8 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 efiren to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprint*. 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 is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost witht out being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be run—v, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may In the course of time become worn, th« mere i turning of a Bcrew effects a refitting of the friction 1 surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance ii displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as i 3 commonly the case; but the thread beincr wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring whitfi can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread ia . , also automatic. The machines aro now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fullerpartlcu rWKN6wLES, !, Gbnbbal Mbbohakt, ■ eastings street, Nafibk. '
