MKGEK'S SEWING MACHINES KOT QUITE SO DECISIVE AS IT WAS, BUT A LITTLE MOEJB OVERWHELMING. E CHALLENGE the representative ot the sf the Jurors on Bowing Machines at the Exhibition who voted for tho report coming f*on» that foots. Messrs Weddings, Cunningtoo, Dale, and Kirk, weoal upon you to defend your report. H. C. FISKE & CO. Chfistehuroh Intornationa Exhibition, Juno 15th71882, REFOBT OF COMMITTEE OF EXPEBTB, To H. 0. FtssK & Co. "fT-RAS SIB,—In accordance with your request BJP we have examined the New Davie and the jJJew Ginger Sewing Machines, for tho pnrpoee of oomporing them. In our oomparloou wo have taken into consideration—1. TU* mechanical principle Involve 3. Tho quality of the material used. 3. Tlie degree of workmanship exhibited. 4. The facility for doing a good and varied class of work. After taking both machines asunder, carefully examining every piece,' and fully testing their capabilities, we nave no hesitation in saying that w« consider the Davis bur She superior machine of the two. Oar reasons are ut follows : In both machines tho same method is adopted f*r actuating the needle bar—viz.. a onnk with roller working in ft cam. This cam iu the Davis machine is cat out of a solid piece of stoel and hardened, while in the Singer it is not only very much lighter, but is mode of common oast iron. The teed apparatus of the two maohines are very diseimilar. That of tho Singer is the usual slip feed. The Davis has tho vertical feed peculiar to itself. In this arnuDcemout the profiser foot holds the material firmly down till fa ai_ *.*- _~-~L.*..t ..<• Ufliut «J*» fftia sure is then relieved and tr&cmaiUoa to tho feed bar. Feed bar, needle and material are then, by a very simple, contrivance, moved forward Btanltaiuwusly the required length of stitch. Motion is given to tho shuttle In Davis machine as follows, Att eccentric at tho whoel end at tho mala spindle gives motion to a vortical lover. This te turn transmits it tuwigk a ball Joint of ingouioa construction to the only moving part Hsae? the itaebins, a pivot*»d lever having at ito end an adjustableshuttle carrier.. Xa tho Singer Machine a pal* of mitre wheels drive a vertical spindle, having at its lower end i erank. A connecting roderom this erank moves a eliding shuttle carrier. It will bo seen that la the Wavi»> there are between tho iaai» spindle and the s .*.\w*, four points ot friction, the pivot oanylng the vert!. oal lever, the eeeeutrlo, tho ball Joint, and the pivot tho eooentrio and ball Joint, are adjustable, and ... .., jHojit liable to wear are mado cl burdened shuttle carrier.
