Patent gassing machine, for burning the loose fibrefrom lace, muslins, and other goods, thereby giving thema more thread-like appearance, without injuring the fabric.Exhibited to show the process of gassing lace, as practisedin the town and neighbourhood of Nottingham .
[The operation of “ gassing” consists in causing lace,thread, or similar delicate tissues, to pass with such velo-city through or between jets of gas as to singe off theloose fibres, without injury to the fabric itself. It wasformerly effected by passing the fabric over heated ironcylinders.—R. E.]
100 Fourdrinier , G. H., Hanley — Inventor andManufacturer.

Patent oscillating double-piston steam-engine, withpotters’ flint and colour mill.
Original model of the exhibitor’s patent paper machine.
Specimen of the exhibitor’s pottery tissue paper, in onecontinuous length of upwards of 2^ miles. Manufacturedfrom old coal-pit ropes and hawsers.
[The pottery tissue paper is prepared exclusively forthe purpose of transferring the impressions of designsfrom copper plates to earthenware in producing theordinary patterns.]
102 Harding, Pullein, & Johnson, GuildhallChambers —Proprietors.
Patent apyrotype machinery. Self-acting machine forthe manufacture of printing type from copper, zinc, orother metal, without heat, by means of dies and powerfulpressure; its object is to produce a letter of more exactform than usual j and it is stated that the metal, hardenedby the compression to which it is subjected in the processof manufacture, attains a durability estimated at sixtytimes that of ordinary cast type.
Machine for dressing the letter after leaving the firstmachine.
Machine for regulating the height of the types, so that,when set up in pages, their faces may be perfectly even.
Other objects contemplated by this invention are eco-nomy of type and ink, and greater resistance to pressure.
104 Sherwin, Cope* & Co., 5 Cumberland Street,Shoreditch —Inventors and Manufacturers.
Printing press, for letter-press printing, possessing asimple combination of levers, and economising labour.
Arming-press, for bookbinders. By the simplicity ofits parts great power is obtained, and the arrangementof its table allows of different thicknesses to lay on.
108 Tidcombe, Geo., Watford— Manufacturer.Machine for cutting paper in the continuous sheet.[Paper manufactured by machine is made into a con-tinuous web the width of the machine. As it runs from
the drying apparatus it passes through the cutting-machine, where it is first slit into several continuousbands: this is effected by means of a series of circularshears formed of circular discs of steel, adjustable on twoparallel axes common to the series. The bands then passon to a kind of shears placed transversely, and acting atpredetermined intervals, the paper being arrested at thepoint of division by the mechanism, without stopping itsonward progress through the slitting-shears. Mr. T. B.Crompton, in conjunction with Mr. E. Miller and Mr.(now Professor) Cowper, obtained patents in the sameyear, 1828, for the cutting apparatus applicable to theabove purpose: since this period several other very inge-nious machines have been devised.—W. D. L. R.]

122 Ingram, Herbert, 198 Strand —Proprietor. ^
A printing machine, on the vertical principle, as uat the “ Times” office. .
The chief advantage of this new arrangement lS?the whole motion or circuit of the type can be ^available for printing, whereas, in the flat machine,than half the motion of the reciprocating type ta rt * ca ilost: and the reason for placing the cylinder in a j^gposition is to obtain more easy access to the type,rollers, and other parts of the machine, and to P ^more impressing cylinders to be arranged arou
