One of the most recent ap-plications of the electric motoris in the manufacture ofcandy. In a device known asthe Fairy Floss Spinner,—shown in Figs. 18, 19, and2r,—a small motor with ver-tical shaft is provided withwhat is technically known asa spinner head. This spin-ner head consists essentiallyof two porcelainised platesbetween which is mounted afinely corrugated ribbon ofmetal. A current of electric-ity circulates through this rib-bon when the machine is inmotion. In the centre of thetop disc is an aperture intowhich ordinary granulatedsugar may be poured by meansof a suitable funnel, and sup-ported by the frame of themotor is a large porcelainisedbowl to receive the finishedproduct. When the machine is put inoperation and supplied withsugar, the centrifugal force im-parted to the sugar by the very SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR USESA, 36-. -DRIVEN JEWELERS LATHE, MADE BY THE HOLTZER-CABOTELECTREC CO , BOSTON, MASS. rapid motion of the spinner head causesit to be thrown outward against the rib-bon, which, being hot, melts the sugarand allows the viscous mass to be spunout between the fine corrugations of theribbon in the form of delicate threads,very much like raw silk. The largeporcelainised bowl receives this skein ofsugar fibre, which instantly cools, andthe result is a coil of fluffy, saccharinethread of beautiful lustre and most ap-petising in appearance and odour. During the spinning, flavouring ex-tracts may be thrown on to the skeinthrough an atomiser, and granulatednut meats or other similar additionsmay be made to the cooling success of these machines has beenvery great, and those shown at the re-cent St. Louis Exposition have not onlybeen enormous money earners, but havebeen constantly surrounded by inter-ested crowds of people.
