KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TIIB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING TV/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Beßt in the world " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, i 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 the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordi- '. nary height above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprine - . A large mass of material could therefore be passed over the work, table, 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 conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to bo run— as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound 3 —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewl ing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, the mere s turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction 3 surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is . displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. r There are no holes to be threaded, as la commonly 3 the case ; but the thread being wound in and out of i a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by c tho action of a spring which can be made light or 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. W.
