Times S .4drocate, .March lSh. NEEDLEs.-A needle factory is established lin Rockland county, N Y. The Rochester Democrat says The wire is first cut into lengths, which will make two needles each. The Impressions where the eyes are made, land where the grooves are found in the fin |ished article, are stamped in both needles |by single stroke of machine, with which la single hand can turn off 30,000 in day. 1t is then turned over to boy, who with |another machine punches the eye, and again another separates the two needles and smooths away irregularities left or made by the other processes. But the eye of the needle is still rough, and must be bored by another pro- cess, which leaves 1t so smooth as not to cut a thread. After this man grinds a hand full at a time on common grind stone, holding them in his left hand, and giving them perpetual rotary motion with the left. so that, when the operation is fin- ished they may be round as well as sharp They are now to be case hardened,' and finally furnished, all which is done by sim pie processes, in which immense numbers can be subjected to the operation at the same time.'
