SEWING MACHINES on the Singor Bystem, FROM £5. J. 11. GEOCOTT. Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seenatthe 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 tho 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 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-fee. also has a liberal amount of play given to it by t_» aid of a well-contrived spring. 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 is of tho 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 bo 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 Burfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance la displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as i 3 commonly ! the case: but tho thread beinsr wound in and out of 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, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. Tho machines are now on view, and an inspection ia respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller nartlculars can be obtained at fuller pa w KNOWLES, G-eite-Ali Merchant HASTINGS STREET, NAnjtft.
