While many bolts are made by machines construct

perfect throughout of equal strength and uniformity
have heretofore been made by hand and at great ex
pense. The best Bolt Machines that have been used
make on an average less than 900 bolts per day nor
are the bolts SO made perfect in shape or strength
that would make bolt uni form and equally strong
throughout, with head of any shape and perfect and
turn them out with great rapidity. MOORE HARDA-
WAY, Esq, one of the oldest and most thoroughly
practical mechanics in the country, has invented a
machine which fills all the requirements mentioned
above, as 1t makes perfect bolt of any length, with
head of any shape, and will make three times as
many in given time, as any other machine in use.
Ike advantages this machine possesses all others
Will enable the Company using 1t to control the bolt
trade of the country.

other Bolt Mach nes has been submitted to the best
mechanics in the country and they have all, unhes

In addition to the vast superiority of the Compa-

Dear Strs Having seen the operation of your
Bolt and Spike Machines it gives pleasure to say
| think it fully merits all that is claimed for it, /
hope to see an establishment for the manufacture of
these indispensable articles in our city equal to the
present and growing demand. Yours truly,

BALTIMORE, Jan. %, 1866.
Messrs. WHITE & BUTTERwoRTH:
Gentlemen: We have examined your "Hardaway's
Improved Patent Bolt, Spike and Rivet Machines"
and the work they turn out. We could suggest no
Improvement IN the bolts you make. They are per
feet in all their parts-have no weak point They
superior to any machine made bolts we have ever
seen, and are equal, if not superior to any made by
hand.
The machine is simple in construction, and so made
that it is durable, and likely to get out of repair
We regard it perfect success in every particular
The rapidity with which you make bolts, depends
solely upon your facilities for feeding. From seeing
the machine work, we suppose three thousand bolts
per ten hours to be reasonable work for one feeder
As the demand for bolts is unlimited, regard the
invention most valuable one.
We regard the Spike and Riyet Machines as being
make the best of spikes and rivets, and turn them
them out very rapidly.
Truly yours, &C.,
