EYES OF NEEDLES.
Why They Never Rust Nor Cut the
Very Finest, Softest Thread.

Very Finest, Softest Thread.
Millions of needles are sold daily. II
was not so long ago when the thread
in the needle was cut by the SHARP
edges left in the eye after manufac,
ture. The smaller the needle the sharp
er the edge and the greater the annoy
ance to users. Then. again. the eyS
would rust. for n woman will damper
the end of the thread on her tongue
needle may be threaded more easily.
Complaint was loud and long. and or
ders were passed down the line to pro
duce an eye in the smallest needle thas
could not cut the finest and softes'
thread in the world
This was done by inventing a new
machine in the shape of die cutters fol
the making of the eyes. The points or
these minute augerS are so small tha
they cannot be seen with the NAKED
eye or detected by the most delicate
sense of touch. A microscope is nee
essary So it was essential to inveLt
new machines to manufacture the die.
and to sharpen the tiny drills.
Polishers and burnishers had to b.
made that would finish off every roug:
edge in an instant almost because nee
| dies sell dozen or so for a few cents
, When this was done the needles wer
| placed in n rack, through which tn
eyes projected and held so tightly tina
when immersed in water only the eye
were covered. In this way the head
/ OF the needles became the negativ
! pole of a powerful battery. and in
few moments the eyes of several mi
lion needles were gold plated an
hence rendered rust proof.-Harper's
