KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QBWING- IyTAOHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in the world" is to he seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-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 thig marked improvement on many other varieties—that the feed plate act 3on either side of the needle. In other words, the work ia 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 above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by aid of a well-contrived sprincr. A large mass 0 material could thereforo be passed 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 with- • out being , conscious of the fact. When the mam part of the machine is not required to be 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 g-enr. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw offoete a refitting of the fnction surfaces. One apeciaily ingenious contrivance is ■ displayed in tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as is commonly the oase ; but the tliread being wound in and out of , J a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by . the action of a spring which can be made light or J heavy at will, keeps 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 Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E.
