New York Times mentions the invention
of small electric battery which has
been applied to ordinary sewing machines and
operates them very successfully. The Times
saws: Even two small battery cups are sufficient
to furnish power for all ordinary machine work.
while the addition of another cup is sufficient
ten, or even twelve thicknesses OF material The
use OF nitric acid in the battery, the odor of
which was an objection to the old plan of
operating by electric power, has been supple
mented by using chromate of potash, which is
odorless. The expense of operating by this
means is about five cents per day. Taken
altogether, this invention is one Of the most
usef ul OF the period. 1t not only renders work
easier to the operator, but what is far better it
does away entirely with the liability to certain
diseases with which female machine operators
were afflicted by reason of the constant tax on
the lower limbs, and must prove to be blessing
to them, as well as a great advantage to the
general public.
