Specimens of dents, and reeds or comtis, complete, forweaving every description of fabrics, manufactured bypatent machinery. This invention is intended to insureregularity in the reed, and uniformity in the fabric andin the shape and finish of the dents, so as to be lessliable to cut or break the threads.

Machinery for the manufacture of worsted yarns, ex-hibited in operation ; consisting of double gill box, opendrawing, first process: double gill box, two spindles,second process; drawing head, two spindles, third pro-cess ; finishing head, four spindles, fourth process; rovinghead, six spindles, fifth process; spinning frame, sixteenspindles on each side or thirty-two spindles, sixth process.
[This machinery exhibits the processes ordinarily em.ployed in the preparation and spinning of worsted yarns,after the wool has been washed and combed. The slivers,or long fibres of combed wool, are prepared by beinggradually drawn out in passing through a series of rollersof regularly-increasing velocity. When thus sufficientlyextended and attenuated, they are sent forward to thespinning frame, where they are further drawn out, receivethe twist requisite to give strength to the yam, and arewound upon the bobbins. A yard of these slivers is thusdrawn out into about 2,000 yards of yarn.—G. T.]

Heald Machine.—The machine shown in the drawing,fig. 1, is so constructed as to double and twist the singleyarn, and at certain points it braids or plaits the yarn,thus forming the eye or loop of the heddles, without knotsof any description, the whole shade or leaf being of onecontinuous cord. The drawing also shows a small sampleof the healds made by the machine, with the eye or loop,as described, which is coated, lined, or covered with ametallic substance suitable for the purpose, which coatingor covering has also been patented by the same party.The assumed advantages of these healds are as follows:—One set will outlast fifteen sets of any other sort; moreyards of cloth can be produced through them per week,and at the same time the cloth is more perfect, and willweigh heavier per piece, owing to there being less frictionupon the warp than is usually caused by the ordinary. healds.

Patent self-acting machine, for closing metal upon theeyes or loops of healds.
Sewing machine (Fig. 2).—This machine is very simplein its construction, and suited to sewing either a circle,
curve, or straight line, at the rate of 500 stitches perminute. But for a circle or curve the straight rack isremoved, and one of a circular form applied to the side ofthe machine. This rack, in which the cloth is placed, ismoved forward by means of a spring, at a given distancefor every stitch. There are two threads employed, oneof which is carried in the shuttle, and the other takenfrom a reel on the top of the machine, and passed throughthe cloth by the point of the needle, so that when it iswithdrawn from the cloth both threads have been lockedtogether, forming a firm and durable stitch.
