Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier i 5 ANO TIIER SE WING MA CHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT I'OR TITE NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING IV/rACHINES This, Ihe latest claimant for the the position o . " Cheapest and Best in tho world "isto be secnat the Warehouse of Mr E, W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in tho 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 plato acts on • either side of tho needle. In other words, the work is pushed along ns 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-feet also hag a liberal amount of play sriven to it by aid of a wcll-contrivcd sprinc. A largo mass o material could therefore be passed over the work--1 table, and through the machine, without tho re--3 motest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of tho most simple character, and so little friction is there that ono 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 shuttlo bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanlem is thereby disconnected from tho driving gear. Further, when any given bearing , may in the couree of time become worn, the mere 1 turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction 3 surfaces. Ono specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. r There are no holes to be threaded, as 13 commonly tho case ; but the thread bolmr 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. Tho innchiuoa arc now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Prico lists, etc., and fuller particulars con be obtained at E.
