WOOLLEN MACHINERY EXHIBITED.

FERRABEE'S PATENT MACHINE FOR FORMING BATS OF FLEECE in connexion with scribbling or carding machines, and for other purposes.

A PERPETUAL SHEARING MACHINE, adapted for finishing the cutting of fine woollen cloths. FERRABEE'S PATENT FULLING MACHINE, adapted for woollen goods which vary in bulk and character; in- tended to obviate wrinkling in the process of fulling.

FERRABEE, HENRY, 75 High Holborn, London.-Steam and water pressure gauges. (Eastern Annex.)

In these ganges the objectionable india rubber dia- phragm is dispensed with. A circular steel plate, peculiarly slit, and protected by a plate of hard rolled brass, receives the pressure of the steam, and actuates

a piston, which, by means of a sector and pinion, gives motion to the dial hand. Corrosion and friction are thus obviated, and accuracy and durability ensured.

to the feed rollers. By this means, the slivers pass obliquely, and a number of them are presented at the same time to the feed rollers, insuring greater uniformity of fleece; which, after having passed the feed rollers, is acted upon by the first of 2 taker-in rollers, about 7 in. diameter. The first of these is covered with saw-like teeth (as described thescribbler"), and the second is covered with cards, and is by them passed the main cylinder, which conveys it to the doffer, whilst the sof carding is going on with the rollers, clearers, process before described in the "scribbler engine. This doffer is also stripped by a comb, and delivered in a thin fleece to a travelling lattice supported on on rollers, which are carried by levers in the form of a pair of compasses, and having one point fixed, and the other moving, with a small carriage on rails, which also carries two tin rollers. By this lattice and rollers the fleece is deposited in layers across the feeder lattice of the

The improvements and novelties introduced in con- nexion with the self-acting mule for cotton-spinning, are also introduced into this machine, in addition to which we have also introduced:-

A "double speed" or fast and slow motion of the with two rims, the change being obtained by a spindles traverse of the strap and two rims without the aid of either counter shaft or gearing, the rim out of action in each case being converted into a carrier pulley, enabling us to retain the double banding arrangement. a motion for giving out the necessary length of slubbing to be which is spun, so connected with the cam- shaft, as to give a simultaneous action of the delivering rollers and the drawing-out motion,
