ANOTHER BELFAST INVENTION. The Fl rm
of Crtchett, Sibiey & Co. have introduced
into their shoe factory a set of machinery
invented by Alvin I. Condor, foreman of
the making department. The machines are
for finishing the bottoms top lifts, shanks
and hee-edges. In the machines previous
~ used the rolls were covered with cotton
cloth, which was constant bill of expense
to the firm and an annoyance to the opera
tor, as they became torn or otherwise spoiled
very easily. In Mr.. Condon's machines the
rolls are made of pieces of upper leather
closely packed and radiating from the GEN.
tire. They are used without covers, the
edges of the leather giving the polish. With
these it is impossible to burn a shoe, and a
person can hold his hand firmly against the
surface OF the rolls when revolving at zoe
revolutions per minute This freedom from
heat is caused by circulation of air between
the sheets of leather as they "give" unde 1
the pressure of the work. Critchett, Sibley
& Co. have shank finishers, top lift fin.
ishers, l heel edge finisher and l bottom
finisher. The machines save in the cost OF
cloths alone from S25 to $40 per year each
They are meeting with good sale in the
factories in Massachusetts, and are manu-
featured in Belfast by firm composed OF
Mr.. Condor and DR.. J. G. Ham, and know n
as the New Method Roll Co. Mr.. Condor
is manager.
