SEWING MACHINES.

chimes tri umph over the world. Tho Centen-
uial Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for tho New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is double victory,
and the highest award which it was in the
power of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such a
recognition. More than thirty Of the beat pro-
ducers of machines in this aud other countr1en
entered for competition, and ut Philade phia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive sxamina-
ton, the judges unanimously decidedthat tna
superior excellence OF these machines dc.
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO on
EACH. The Centennial Commission unAni'
lnousy ratified the action Of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF these
lblest of mechanical experts. A claim od
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood.

These New Machines embrace the elements
II the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
With important additions and variations, and
ffer from other lock stitch Machines In hav-
ng Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part Of tho
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
matte under tension; an improved form OF
feed, and better distribution of parts. q,
The points Of superiority Of these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nu-
merous and important "
and more rapid and certain in action than tha
vibrating Shuttle, and hence produces mors
regular and even stitch, and does far moro
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
z The Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, SO
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
| the price of tho machine.

c1amping of the lower thread while the stake
| up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine il
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
| be done with no shuttle machine. a.I..-
| 4. The Independent take-up, which draws up
| the thread when the needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the chafng OF the thread be-
| tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use Of so large q thread that thc
needle hole is entirely filed, making a tirmer
and more beautiful stitch and . water-tight
seam in water proof gools, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed 10 not acting, tho
material is not " puckered," a point Of especial
| importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents thu
friction Of the thread, and allows it to fiow
with uniform twist and evenness, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad-
justed, the seam with any length Of stitch
| passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
risls, or vice versa. without variation.
s. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine: the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and being much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
6. The range Of work with these machines Il
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lightsst gauze to the heav-
lest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread
T. The parts Of these machines are perfectly >
interchangeable, and their form, distribution
balance and movement, secure not only thi
greatest durability and speed, with the leas
power, but also the greatest ease and con.
venience of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanshil
constitute them the elimination Of Sowing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma
chimes of the world.
