KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OP ALL KNOWN QEWING -jl/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Beef in the world" is 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. Asa matter of fact the horizontal feed ia common to many machines, and the term has therefore no signification o£ importance. But in the White machine there ia 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 samo time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-feel also has a liberal amount of play given to it by aid of a well-contrived sprine-. A large ntass o material could therefore be pssscc l . over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being , cons*ious of the fact. Wher/ the main part of the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch i 9 thrown bank, and tho sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may In the course of time become worn, the mere turning 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 bo threaded, as J3 commonly the cose ; but the thread beintr wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can bo made light or heavy at will, keers just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Prico lists, etc., and , fuller particulars can be obtained at E.
