SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FROM £5. J. H. GEOCOTT. Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HOEIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OEWING TI/TACHINES, This, the latest claimant for tho the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seen at tho 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 tbe 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 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 i njuiy. 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 tho main part of the 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 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 ifl displayed in tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as is commonly the case; but the thread boincr wound in and out ot a few grooves, a little stool plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the dosired straini onthe under thread. The tension for the upper thread ia also automatic. Gbnbbal Mkboiiahs HASTINGS STRKET, NATMB.
