KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) TEE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING TyrACHINES This, the latest claimant for tho the position o " Cheapest and Best in the world " isto be seenat the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastingrs-strcet, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the cousi ruction render it well worth examining. A3 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 is pushed along as if l>y two fingers instead of one. Obviously thie 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 time the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pre3sure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by tho 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 is of the most Bimple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be run—aa, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechaniom is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, a3 i 3 commonly the caae ; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little ateel plate popa down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on tho under thread. Tho tension for the upper thread ia also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W.
