It will be noticed thatthe bottom in this case is provided with arms and springs whereby itcan automatically adjust itself to the inequalities in loading. This is arefinement necessary only in matching very delicate shades. 977 Atlanta, Ga., STUART W. CRAMER, Charlotte, N» C. Cramer Automatic Dyeing Machines, Continued*. The No. 2 Dyeing Machine is the same as the No. i except withautomatic means for tilting up the bottom and dropping the load toone side. The above sectional diagram shows how the tilting arrange-ment is effected. The dotted line shows the bottom in its tilted posi-tion ; it will be noticed that the side of it is hoisted by a block andtackle,—the fly wheel to the engine driving the circulating pumpbeing specially fitted to be used as a winch for raising, all as shownabove. For explanation of the figures on the diagram, see pages 976-7except for the following numbers: (5) Supporting spider to reciprocating bottom. (5) Perforated bot-tom in flat position. (5) Perforated bottom in raised position forsliding off the batch of dyed cotton. (27) Hooks for raising the bot-tom. (28) Block and tackle. (29) Winch on engine wheel. As an alternative proposition we can furnish without additional chargea separate crab winch for operating the hoist to tilt the bottom andthereby unload the
