racks, which are cast in sections, are simply |
bolted to piece of timber, on which one
or d Of the head blocks rest; by this means
the carriage can be made as long as desired,
by adding sections of the rack and increas- |
ing the length of the timber on which they |
are bolted. The other ends of the head |
blocks rest on light trucks, and when it is |
desirable to move one of them, the sawyer |
merely lifts one end oft and pushes IL along |
as fast as he can walk.
The knees of the head-blocks are fed up
by screws, which may be worked together
or separately as is desired, and are provided
with an adjustable clamp-nub, which, by
merely turning a little lever, becomes freed
from the screw, enabling the elbow to be
thrown quietly back or forward at will.
This must be very convenient in saving
taper-lumber. These Mills are manufac-
tured by A. B. Holabird & Co., of this city,
to whom orders should be addressed. The
Messrs. Holabird, by the way, are the build
ers of the beautiful engine used for driving
the machinery at the Mechanics Fair, which
must have been noticed by all who have
visited that place.
sEwNG-MAoHINEs.
The Finkle & Lyon Machines. II These
machines, now on exhibition at the Fair
attract no little attention. The family
shuttle lock-stitch sewing-machine is a
wonder in point of general utility and
simplicity of construction, sewing the finest
fabrics to leather work without altering
the, tension, and with the same thread.
The stitch is exactly the same on both sides
Of the work, and elicits admiration because
of its regularity and neatness. Premiums
have been awarded il on several occasions
where this machine has been on exhibition.
To perfect the sewing-machine art, Mr..
Finke has devoted himself and all his means
for the last six or seven years; and in his
INN nnfo OF In rtf,rr antatr ha
has, by better adaptation and connection of
its several parts, rendered each movement
positive and absolute, and at the same time
light and easy, so as to obtain the highest
speed with little or no noise, and without
injury to the machine.
Do not fail TO see it in operation while at
the Fair. The machines can also be seen in
the city at the Office of the agent, e. E. Hug
gins, No. l6 East Fourth-street between
Main and Sycamore.
Wheeler 4 Wilson's Se,oing- Machines-
The improvements in the manufacturing of
sewing machines are every year increasing.
One of the best now in use is the New
Family Machine manufactured by Messrs.
Wheeler & Wilson, and now on exhibition
at the Fair, by their Cincinnati agents,
Messrs. VIM. Sumner & Co., whose office is
in Pixies Opera-house.
| The medium and the new style--the latter
being the same in principle but less highly
! ornamented than the former-are applicable
to every variety of sewing for family wear,
from the lightest musins to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upon silk,
linen, woolen and cotton goods-seaming,
quilting, gathering, hemming and telling
performing every species Of sewing, except
making button-holes, stitching on buttons
and the like.
add to simplicity of construction, dura-
bility, and little or no friction, and you have
a frst-class machIDe-such is the Wheeler &
Wilson, and to it the attention of every per-
son is directed.
