framed !n by the most elegant spool
cation sign in the Exposition. II is
composed OF 10000 spools, of 200
separate colors, embracing the largest
uh@sS, Jc0 ht.s. fsncy shades. The
frames are richly lSoiaea, zisI air,C
glass coverings, and the spooi>wOrk
Is of very artistic design and finish.
The exhibit covers an area of thirty
10y sixty feet, aud is furnised, in addl-
ton TO the machinery, with raised
seats at one extremity for the comfort
Of visitors, who can thus enjoy their
ease while they are being entertained
by the various processes there presen>
ted. All of the machines are auto
matte and labor saving. The first is
the skein spooler, which winds the
thread from the hanks on to large
bobbins, from which 1t is taken to
the winding machines, which transfer
exactly 200 yards to the spool, and is
then ready to repeat the operation.
From here it is taken to the ticketing
machine, an ingenious automatic ar
rangement, probably the most inter~
esting Ofall the various operations.
This machine cuts the little circular
labels from large sheets and pastes
and places them firmly on either end
Of the spool. The goods are then re-
moved to the packing table, where
other operatives are at work in full
view of the public, making paper
boxes. some of them holding full doz-
ems and others single spools, the latter
to be given to lady visitors. All of
the machines used, which have at 9th.
er expositions taken the highest med,
ais, are the inventions of Mr.. Hezeki.

which are given souvenirs to visitors.
