On her second roundthe McCormick broke down so tha* the Marsh had co mpleted her work before she was asain ready for action. Finally, however, ihey wiled through, meeting only with the slight incoaveri nee of having to stop from three to four tiinis in'cvtrv round, on account of breaking their wire.

Byactaal comparison with o'.e of its be t-krown rivals, it wa3 found to be nearly five hund ed pounds llgh'er. It uses but one wire, and if the wire breaks the twisf r catches it withouo stoppicg the machine. One of its rivals used a double wre, au-i i< either brejfce the mathine has to stop and the driver get eff, sdjust h s machine and re-thread his ntedle.
