KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING "jt/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o '' Cheapest and Best in the word " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Kkowles, 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 sow along the right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the Bamo time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above tho table, and the pressure-fcot also haa a liberal amount of play given to it by aid of a well-contrived sprinsr. A largo mass o material could therefore be passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. Tho entire mechanism is of the most simple ch,arp.ctor, 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 shuttlo bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mochanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in tho course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effocts a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tonalop arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to W threaded, as ia commonly the case; but the tiircad being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steol plate pop 3 down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain 011 tho under throad. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines arc now on view, and an inspection is respectfully oolicited, when Price lists, etc., and iuller particulars can bo obtained at E. W.
