Thla Company has been formed 1,, manufacture Files by ten-

rations much more difficult are daily eze.ented by machinery.
Two causes have mainly contributed to this ream-
First -The oppotition of the Trade. Union to all change, the
denial of tree action to the master.. with the fear of outrage,
have prevented the use of file machinery at Sheffield.
Second-The want of Ille.maklug machinery adapted to the
employment of unskilled labour her prevented its introduction
elsewhere.

AUDOORS.
T. R. Walker, Leg., 21, Hanover-allure and
A Shareholder to be elected at the fleet General Meeting.

This latter difficulty baa beet overcome by the inventions of
"Bemot "and "Greenwood." Ordinary operatives, by using this
economising machinery, can make every description of file
can tit refore be worked in any locality, thereby renderlrg the
adios of the Trad s Colon inopeiative and hassles, and remove
the Circuities that. have hitherto prevented the successful in-
troduction of file-making machinery.
One of " llemors" Ole-cutting machines has been erected and
met to work m B rmingham, and is now in operation with the
moat satisfactory molts.
The following resolution was unanimously passed by the
gentlemen m were several machinists and practical
Ile maker; assembled to witness its operations.
Res-Ived —That " llernats " File.custing Macklae has the ad-
vantage of being a valu ,ble laboursaving machine : that I can
be worked effectively under proper supervi•on by ruiskilled
labour ; and that the Wes cut by it are equal, if not superior, to
the best files cut by hand."
The whole subject has undergone a searching inquiry by Mit
May, the Ocinipany's engineer, and the following is a synopsis
M his report
"I have investigated these inventions, and also the Report of
Mr. Richard Allinson on the • Employment of Machinery in the
Manufacture of Files,' and leg to observe:
" /Int —As regards theft merits, and the validity of the
patents.
that thaw Itateahiam pnMMi mut* valid.
'sew, sad trefuf Mid. as Mich, safe to invest ; and, to fay
judgment. the inventions constitute an excellent and effective
combination to carry out the system of making tiles by
ma. bloery.
" I have visited the file manufactory at Dom', in France. and
bays seen the machines In full operation ; none of them are
driven at a, high a speed as they might Mr, and I have no doubt
bat that with aniflLC workmen the production of each machine
night be doublial. The cutting was ezmillently effected, and I
consider It to be a feature of the greatest tat ortance that this
machine can cut files of any shape which can he cot by hand.
" BernoVs Machine, to which the Prise Medal of 1862 well
awarded, cuts 14 in. hand bastard film at 1,000 cuts per minute ;
a handworker cannot ascend ISO cots per minute.
"This difference in prodnedve power is the key to the ad-
vantages of employing machinery.
' :Second —Are the statements of Mr. Allinson's Report con-
sistent with fact. and correct in their Infer. ores,

I have carefully gone into all the items, calculations and
statements therein contained, especially with regard to the esti-
mate of cost of production, as compared with the hand system.
I have compared the priced with information obtained in other
quarters, and tied ell the data tally, with one un,reportaut ex-
ception, this not forming an item of real coot.
