SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FROM £5. J. 11. GSOCOTT. Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier ANOTHER SEWING MA CHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING -jl/TACHINES 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 tbe 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 haa 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 tho 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 tbe 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 tabic, and the pressure-fcol also has a liberal amount of play given to It by aid of a well-contrived spring. A large mass o material could therefore be passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chanco of njury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one mny ruu the machine—almost without being conscious ol the fact. When tho 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 is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected fromkhe driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the courss of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. Ono specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tenslqp arrangoment of the shuttle. There as-o no holes to bo threaded, as ia commonly tha case; but th« thread beiniy wound in and out of a few groovea, 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. Tho tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines aro now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and iullor particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, GUHBBAI MSBOHAHK HASTINGS STREET, NAHSU.
