The steel Plate represents Macindoe’s patent self-actingIn this description, owing to the complication otre . refe *ences in the plate, only those are given winchntier clear the peculiar principles of the mule.

[It appears that the first self-acting mule was inventedin 1793 by Mr. W. Strutt, of Derby, and the second byMr. W. Kelly, of Lanark Mills, in 1792, but both wereabandoned. About 35 years afterwards, two patentswere granted on one day to two parties for self-actingmules. Since these were granted, about 20 others havebeen obtained for a like purpose, and their success hasbeen as varied as their number. The machine is a won-derful industrial automaton.—Ii. E.]

25 McNaucht, William, 26 Robertson Street, Glasgow—Inventor.

Coats ’s patent self-acting bobbin-making machine, in-tended for tlie manufacture of spools used in making-upsewing thread. It is capable of turning oft" two dozenof spools per minute, or about three times as many ascan he done by the hand-machine. These are deliveredon the lathe-arbor, and are finished, and withdrawn inthe finished state, by the machine.

New warping-mill iron-creel, for silk. The bobbins orreels are made to pass each other, forming the leaseinstantly, instead of the warper soiling and ruffling theends with his fingers, so that the twister-in or weaver canseparate every end in the warp with facility.
