KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TIIB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OP ALL KNOWN OEWING "jV/TACHINES. This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world "is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr K. W. Knowlbs, 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 Bide of the needle. In other words, the work is pushed alorjg 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-foc4 also has a liberal amount of play (?iven to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprins - . A large mass o material could therefore be passed over the work' table, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism ie of the most simple character, and bo little friction ia 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 catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing toay 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, as ia commonly the oase; but the thread beirnj wound in and out of 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 is also automatic. The niadiinos are now on view, :w.l an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price hats, etc., and fuller p a rticuto S c«.l|^n^^ GkNb BA r.
