ARTIFICIAL FLOWER-BRANCHING type. The basis of the stems is wire, and two threads of suitable material are laid along this wireto prevent subsequent slippingof the colored thread whichforms the outer covering of thestems. The ends of the shortstems of leaves, flowers, buds,and fruit being laid against thewire are wound under the outercovering, and are thus fastenedto it. Tlie wire is fed from a spool,a, passes through a hollowspindle, h^ and lies upon an end-less feed belt, c, to which it isclamped by small belt is driven by gearing underneath, and carries with it the wirestem, which is slowly unwound from the spool a. Tw^o threads, pass-ing through an eye, e, are also drawn through the hollow spindle, h, in con-junction with the wire, by the motion of the endless belt. These threadsare unwound from the spools /. At the same time a rapid rotary motionis given to the hollow spindle by a small belt from the driving pulley g. On the revolving hollow spind
