SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FROM £5, J. 11. GROCOTT, Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-Btreet, Naplf? ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, EEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING TV/TACHINEa, This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seen at tho Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, HastingSrfltreet, 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 is pushed along ns if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even resulta, 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 pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to It by tho aid of a well-contrived spring. 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 little friction ia ■ there that one may run the machine—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 is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from tho driving gear. Further, when any given bearing: may in tbe course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance te displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as 13 commonly the case; but tho thread being wound in and out ol a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which 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 are now on view, and an innpaotlon is respectfully solicited, when Prloo lists, flta t and fuller p&rtlculariean bo obtained at E. W.
