The degree of workmanship «xfalblt«d. 4. The faculty tot doing a good ud varied olaea of work. After taking both machinee asunder, oarefolfr msmimmm the two. Our reasons are as follows i—la both machine* the mow Method Is adopted for actuating the noodle her—vi*„ a orank with roller working la a own. This own la the Davis maohin* la oat oat of a solid picae of steel and hardened, while la the Blager It 1* aot only very much lighter, bat la made of ooauaoa oast Iron. The feed apparatus of the two maolilaea are Tory dissimilar. That of the Singer ia the ■anal ■Up feed, Tha Davia hag the vertical dad peculiar to itself, la thla arrangcauat the preeeer foot holda the material firmly dowm tin the needl* hu reached its lowatt potat. The pressure la then relieved aad traaaanttod to tiw feed bar. Feed bar, needle and materiel are then, by a very simple oeatrlvanett, aaoved forward *unulUne*naly the required length of ■Utah. Motion la given to the ehnttle la Davia auohlnc aa follow*. Aneooentrloatthewheel and at the main apindle gives motion to a vertioal lever. Talc la torn transmit* it throogh a ball Joint of iagenion oonetenotioa to the only moving part under the machine, a sivottad lever having at ite t carrier. Intlie Singer Machine a pair of mitre wheel* drive a varttoel apindle,having at ite lower end ~ crank, a. connecting rod from thla erank move* a elldi shuttle currier. It will baaeaathatin the Da there are between the main apindle and tbesuascu, bmr point* ef Motion, the pivot earrying the vertk the parte moat liable to wear an made of hardened steel. To oompaen the name work the Shuror employ* aa point* of Motion the teeth of the mitre wheel*, the two Journal* of vertical apindle, the two end* of the oonnooting rod, and the eliding ahnttla oarrisa. None of these places are adjustable. The small wheel* are eonunon oast Iron, having a oertoin amount at baoklaah, and consequent tendency to rattle and break. The oonnudttag red la a thin bar of iron, with a hole in aaoh end. The end which runs on the erank pin la on* of the principal joint* in the machine, having a considerable anount of work to do with amall bearing surtaoe, making it very liable to wear, while, a* before remarked, there are no mean* of oompansatingfor any wear. ItwUlbenotioedthat the shuttle ef the Singer Machine la carried in a elide, to whieh a lateral ■train la given by the driving rod, causing a certain amount of Mottoa, while in the Davia it ia carried by the lever quite tree from Motion. With the eaoeptioo ef the amall roller working "-- needle bar, there is not a single pieoa in the er Machine, not even exoes thai oannot be out with on t ... *-- "i, and there are no means of adjusting any jing part. In the Davis, not only are most of the pieoe* made of steel, and temj * *—*■ -*■ ■rJiriJ'.in?ii'.UAl ?! wiHMSii 'j.w any doubt about the quality of the material Ml the pieoe waa broken aad the fracture y examined. Having examined the mechanical arrangement* of the two machines, we tested their adaptability forwork,andw* noticed the very peculiar feed of the Davia. In thia respect we have been forced to the oonoluidon that for all paraaaaa. aewing from l a metal the Davia ha* no parallel for grasp, or fOr at that puckering often the effect of the pressor* no a tore motion feed. We must in common honesty express our astonishment at the range and variety of work aooompUshed by the Davis, which we are satisfied cannot be done by the Singer. In summarising our report, we repeat thatw* have no hesitation in saying that we regard the Davis as very superior to the Singer in workman' i and the mechanical principles in vol ved, and also in performing a greater range of work. We fonnd the Davi* to work with equal i 1 from the lightest to the heaviest tabrio. JOB* L£S SCOTT (Scott Bros J 1 N<MihanliTfl TEng* M ' >i> Vi COB, .-j *i t KaJapol Clothing jj* O. P. AMTHOTr.
