GENERAL REPORT OF THE JUDGES OF GROUP XXII. 41 shuttle against the race-face. One horn of the shuttle-carrier was movable by means of a thumb-piece to permit the removal of the shuttle. It had a four-motioned feed of the usual construction. In the “Wanzer A” the needle mechanism was as in the “Little Wanzer.” A crank-pin or disk at the end of the lower shaft operated an arm connected with and arranged to move the sliding shuttle-carrier. It had a four-motioned feed. Husqvarna Arms Manufacturing Co., Stockholm, Sweden. This company sent copies of the Weed sewing-machine and Family Favorite. They were not well finished. John Hedland, Sweden. This exhibit consisted of copies of the Singer and one Wanzer machine. The workmanship was not equal to that of the original machines exhibited by their proper owners. C. Muller, Germany. This exhibit consisted of copies of Singer machines, arranged to be operated by treadle and by hand, and a chain-stitch machine having a hook of the Wilcox & Gibbs pattern. The needle-bar in the last- mentioned machine was driven by a rotating shaft and heart-cam. It was a hand-machine. Pollard & Schmidt, Hamburg, Germany. In this exhibit were copies of the Singer and Wheeler & Wilson machines. The Wheeler & Wilson machines were slightly changed as to the devices for regulating the length of the feed-stroke and stitch. One Wheeler & Wilson machine had an embroidery- attachment provided with vibrating crossing thread-carrying arms adapted to present their threads upon the fabric to be stitched thereto by the needle-thread. Some Wheeler & Wilson machines were arranged as hand-machines. One machine employed a straight needle and shuttle, and was adapted to stitch button-holes. The shuttle, held in a carrier, was reciprocated in the direction of the length of the cloth-plate by means of a cam-grooved hub that vibrated an arm connected by a link with the shuttle-carrier. A four-motioned feed of ordinary construction moved the material. The head in which the needle-bar was reciprocated was pivoted at its top, and was vibrated after each ascent of the needle, so that the needle alternately penetrated the fabric back from the edge of the slit and then descended through the slit, its loop being entered each \ t,v ye» •‘trait
