KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TITR NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY KUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THS BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING il/rAOHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in the word " is to be seena f , the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the construction render it well worth examining. Aβ 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 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 pressure-feel also has a liberal amount of play ijiven to it by aid of a well-contrived sprinsr. A large mass o material could therefore be passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of ujuiy. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being: conscious of the fact. When the main part Of the machiuo is not required to bo run—as, for instanoo, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring cuteh is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from fche driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in tho course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfacea One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangemenbof the shuttle. There are no holes to bo threaded, as is commonly the caso ; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, arid by the action of a spring which can be mado light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired etrain on the under thread. The tension for tho upper thread is also automatic The machines aro now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W.
