NEW INVENTION TOR WINDING SILL-3Y
English correspondent in Piedmont says " A great impose
went is being introduced here in machinery for winding sof
spinning silk direct from the cocoon,, aceotiling to an net
lion of Mr. Dickens, of Middleton, near Ilsachester, tit
machinery for which has been manufactured byMenn
Gordon and Co., of Stockport. Some of the prineipl sew
facturers in this country speak most favourably of this ef.'
tent of the working of the machinery, and the ear'
quality of the silk produced by it. I have lately seen sa
menu building in course of construction at Nowa
the purpose of carrying out this system on a "matrix,:
vole. It is the property of a company presided sew by
Cavaliers Rend, the Syndic of that town, and is so kult ths
if desired it can be increased to four times its weal
size without inconvenience, but even in its algal
proportione it will hove 12,000 spindles, driven by ""
12-honos power condensing engines, and employing betyw
300 and 400 hands. Mr. Emerson, of the arm of Nil/
sad Co., is noperintending the arrangements for
out the building end putting up the machinery, wb4
hoped, will be reedy for tbo coming crop, and wbl
successful, is likely to effect a perfect revolution in the tal
manufacture of this country. The principal advem
expected from this system IM—the power to reel at all tk
eons any kind of cocoons not poeitively injured ; to
rod
lukewarm water; to employ children as operative ; nor*
a more even and elaatic thread ; a certainty in the 'wool
