The machine for packing nails in themanner described is of German originand just being introduced into this coun-try. Its operation is based upon theprinciple that linear iron articles whenIjrouglit into a magnetic field will auto-matically take a position parallel to thelines of force. The machine consists es-sentially of the electric paralleling mech-anism, a feeding trough and a shakingdevice. By means of the latter, the nailsgli<le gradually into the parallelingmechanism and while still falling aredrawn in the direction of the lines of. ReR. V. S. Pal.
