SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FBOM £5. J. H. GROCOTT. Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napior ANOTHER SEWING 31 A CHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THK NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, PEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of contradiction) THB BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING Tl/TACHINES, This, the latest claimant for the the position 0 " Cheapest and Beat in the word " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, 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 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 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 time, the "arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foot nlso has a liberal amount of play given to it by the 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 is oi the most simple 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—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring- c;-.tch ia thrown back, and the sewing niechamfcm is thereby disconnected-from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of lime become worn, the mere turning of a- screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is dif-playod in tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. •J here are no holes to ba threaded, as i 3 commonly the case; but the thread being wound in and out ot a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by tho action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, kcevs just the desired strain on tho under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines aro now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, e_, and fuller parfc.cu'ars can be obtained at E. W.
