2. A Medal and Diploma for "The Now

These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
iifser from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin In part Of tho
shuttle; an Independent take-up; an auto
matte under tension; an improved form Of
The points of superiority OF these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nu-
merous and important.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain In action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mora
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue Of the operator
2 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 the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
| cIamping Of the lower thread while the stake
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
| lock Of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
| be done with no shuttle machine.
4. The independent take-up, which draws up
| the thread when the needle is QUITO the mate
rial, prevents the chafing Of the thread DO.
| tween the needle and the material, and pcr-
mits the use Of 80 large thread that tho
needle hole is entirely filed, making a frmer
and more beautiful stitch and water tighs
seam in water proof goo Is, and as the stitch
material is not" puckered," point Of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and gonor al
| sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelct prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
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 thckest mate
| rials, or vice versa, without variation.
| 5. The needle is set by simply placing liz 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 arger requires filing
| less often, and permits the use OF cord In
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
Q. The range Of work with these machines ID
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lightest gauze to the heav-
lest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread.
Z. The parts Of these m machlnes are perfectly
Interchange geable, and their form, distribution,
balance and movement, secure not only tho
greatest durability and speed, with the least
power, but also the greatest ease and con-
venience of management, and their superiox
system, devices, material and workmanship
constitute them the elimination Of Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma
chimes Of the world
USES OF THE MACHINES. Ever
kind OF stitching, from that required in the
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec.
ion with the No. 8 Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z and thu
No. 8 are more especially suited by reason o.
size or form, some of the various kinds o.
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
