IN New Haven where the whole process Is done
by single machhe without the manual
labor OF any person. A coil Of steel wire is put
IN; the machine cuts it off at the required
lengths; it cuts the steel pieces consecutive
ly, punches the eye-holes, counter-sinkg the
eyes, and grinds the points-and in fact,
does everything until the needles drop out
completely formed. Another machine picks
them up and arranges them heads and noints
together and third piece of mechanism nuts
them into paper. One of these machines occu.
pies no more space than an ordinary table, and
each of them turns out from 10000 to 40. 600
needles day. Most of the needles were i'm.
ported from England until few years past.
