"FairbankS' Patent Platform and Counter Scales -
We were pleased 10 observe among the numerous
articles at the Mechanics Fair, now open in this
city, specimens of these long tried and well known
scales. And, while they have been before the pub
lie so long, 10 have lost all claim the Of
novelty, yet their perfection, and the fact that they
now probably the most extensively used of any
of the numerous fiiy of scales, where accuracy and
in weighing is sought, cntitc them to passing
notice These scales are manufactured by Mcssrs
f. & p Fairbanks & Co., of St. Johnsbury, VT, and
now in general use by our Railroad and Manu-
featuring Companies, and By our merchants generally
They made of all sizes and capacities from the
common counter scale, weighing ~ o. to the Rail
road and Depot scaes-onc Of which latter, now in
on the inclined plane Of the Morris Canal weighs
a boat IN less than one minute, and is capable of
weighing l25 tons, with perfect accuracy.
Their superior merit consists in the great simplici-
ty of their plan Of construction consisting Of two
levers and single beam, and the fact that all the
bearings are broad knife edges, placed parallel
lines, and resting upon polished steel surfaces, so
dressed and lcveled, that the knife edge bearings
equally through their whole length.
The advantages secured to these scales by this
rangemcnt, added the well known skill and fdcli-
ty of the manufacturers, are that the balances are
entirely accurate, and unlike, informed
many of the Platform Balances, they "agree with
themselves that is, given weight in bulk, when
separated and weighed in small drafts, will produce
the same aggregate.
This, we believe, is the extreme test to which
balances are put. We need hardly add that this is
matter of little Importance TO both buyer and seller
by weight. These scales also very durable; and
from the thoroughncss and simplicity Of their con-
truction, seldom out of repair. We learn, also,
that shifting the position of the body weighed upon
the platform will vary the result We believe that,
for accuracy and durability, these wclknown scales
are unsurpassed. 1t is now some 90 years since the
Messrs. Fairbanks commenced their establishment
nj ST. Johnsbury During all that timc in the libcr-
aty of its arrangements, and the character OF its
ductors and operatives, it has been model establish
mcnt for manufacturing in New England; while we
believe its proprctors have been richly rewarded for
their skill and enterprise by the substantial patron

4 Ne,c Inuention.--A new and important Inven-
ton, which docs away with the present system of
Rope Making, has just been made by Mr.. Whippc,
of Providence, (R. ~ By this process, rope can be
made in the piece a mile long, or to indefinite
the necessity for long ropcwaks. Two twists are
made at one revolution, without twisting or turning
at the end of the rope as is the custom. The
strand is formed and rope laid in perfect
ncr, and at far greater speed than is attained.
From $50 to 300 feet Of two inch rope can be thus
made in minute; smaller sizes much faster. One
man could tend a number Of these machines at once.
If this invention is carried OF, process will be
in USE not only doing away foreign mportations and
controlling market, but exporting 10 other
countries. Two-thirds of all the cordage made in
this country is from dcw-rot American hemp at
average value of cts, though the present is
Z cts.

Great Improvement in File Cutting.-NTost Of the
Files now used in this country, imported: and
they form nconsdcrablc item, Ga twelfth part at
Ieast) of the five million dollars worth of manuiac
turcd steel and iron annually imported. As these
files all cut by hand they necessarily require great
labor, and corresponding advance on the value OF
the stock, according to fincncsS. The twelve inch
flat files in vary in the retail price, accord
ing the fincncss from 30 cents to Sl.S0 showing
a difference of about dollar and half made by labor
on a single file. Every effort made in England to
cut files by machinery has been without success, and
the tedious process of making every cut with ham
mer and chiscl, producing from TO a dozen files
per day, is yet followed.
We have this week been called upon to see the
operation Of machine for cutting files, invented and
patented by Mr.. Richard w alkcr, an ingenious ma
chinist of this town. after nearly two years labor.
Mr. w. has disposed of his right to Mr.. Rufus Mcln
tire, the present proprietor, also good machinist-
Mr. McIntirc is the maker OF the machine we saw in
operation. This new and important invention bids
fair to produce in the manufacture of files,
and if introduced into Europe, will long make
files article of export instead of import. The ma
chine is about five feet long, two wide and three
high, and can be operated easily as the turning
of a common grindstonc The blank intended TO be
made file is placed in central position the chiscls
strike both sides of the blank at the same time max
ing in common speed between two and three hundred
cuts per minute. The gearing is adjusted that the
chiscs accommodate themselves to the thickness of
the file that the cut is equal in depth throughout
and the regular progression of the file nsures perfect
regularity in the distance of the cuts. ten inch file
of medium fncncss is cut on both sides in three min
utes-in three minutes the transverse cuts are
made, and it is again passed through to cut the
sides
Thus three machines, which will not cost over
8 300 each, and be tended by man, COM
plcte 30 files in an hour or 300 in day. A
steam engine of five horse power put at least so
of these machines in operation. We saw file made
which had 1874 cuts to the inch in each processthc
teeth perfectly regular in distance and elevation
and the closest scrutiny could discover any diff
ference whatever between the teeth of this and the
