We notice in the Daily Spy, published at
Worcester, Mass, an account of loom in
vented by Dr. FL. G. Davis of that city:
"The principle of Dr. Davis's invention is
that he has introduced between the lathe and
the crank an attachment to the arm, by which
he secures dwell of the lathe while the shut
tie is crossing, thereby enabling the loom to
work with crank of but little more than bali
the usual length. By this mechanical contri-
vance the inventor claims speed of 225 or
more revolutions per minute, instead of lao,
the former speed.
We understand that DR.. Davis is in town
