Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, EEED, NOISELESS, EASY PUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING Tl/TAOHINES. This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best- in the world " is to be 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 tha 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 oral, nary height above the table, and the pressure-foe* also has a liberal amount of play given to it by th» aid of a well-contrived sprine. A large mass o material could therefore be passed over the work, table, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism id of the most simple character, and so little friction ia 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 be run—as. For instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring oatch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from tha 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 ia displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as ia 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 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 J5. W.
