SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FROM £5, J. H. 6EOCOTT. ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HOEIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING Tl/rACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seenatthe Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowlks, Hastiiigs-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 sew along the right or left edge of tho 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 has a liberal amount of play given to it by aid of a well-contrived sprintr. A large mass o material could therefore bo passed over tho worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njuiy. 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 machino is not required to bo run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a littlo spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearmg may in the course of time become worn, the mere turning of a scrow effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as is commonly the case; but tho thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can be mado 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 arc now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars en n be obtained at E. W.
