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 "jMTACHINES, This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world "ia 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 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 it 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 abovo the table, and the pressuro-fee* also has a liberal amount of play tfiven to it by 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 ia of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run tho machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to bo run—as, for instance, when ehuttlc bobbins are to be wound a little spring cntch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in tho courso of time become worn, the mere turuing 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 case ; but the thread beincr wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, andby tho action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain ou tho under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully Bolicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller part;culars can bo obtained at E. W.
