confidence leave the in the hands Of enlightened
and discriminating public for just righteous verdict

Secondly the simplicity Of the construction Of our Ma
chine running does entirely the cam eccentric

not fail of convincing the most casual Observer Of its
Immense strength and consequent durability.
Thirdly, rejection Of the shuttle" action, frees the
operator from the necessity Of stopping every w minutes
