SEWING- MACHINES on the Singer system. FROM £5. J. H. GEOCOTT, ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OP ALL KNOWN QEWING TUTACHINES This, tho latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Besf in tho world " is to he seenat the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Has tings-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 tho term baa 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 pustod 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 tho same time, the arm of tho machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-feet also haa a liberal amount of play given to it by aid of a well-contrived sprintr. A large raasa o material could therefore be passed over tho worktable, and through tho 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 tho machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of tho machine ia not required" to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in tno course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfacea One apocially ingenious contrivance is displayed In the tension arrangement of tho shuttle. There are no holea to be threaded, as i 3 commonly the case; but tho thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a littlo steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or heavyift wili, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic, Th.c machines are now on view, and an inspection id respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars enn be obtained at E. W.
