FRINGE MACHINE, SHAWL, invented by Milton D. Whipple, and used at the Bay State Mills, Lawrence, Mass., to twist the fringe of shawls, is a very successful, and as far as our knowledge extends, the only machine which has ever been applied for this purpose. We extract from the patentee’s specifications the following description of it and its operations : The machine is so constructed as to imitate and perform the ordinary manual operations of dividing the yarns into proper quantities to form the two single strands, and then twisting the said strands separately in one direction, and afterwards bringing together and twisting them in opposite directions to form the fringe from ' Appleton's dictionary of machines, mechanics, engine-work, and engineering ' by D.
