scales have every where attained, makes it needless for your committee to say- 

 any thing in commendation. Suffice it, that they as ever are most beauti- 

 fully constructed, most evenly balanced, and exquisitely finished. The weight

Aumock's Cylindrical polisher, for scouring knives and forks, Wm. S. Aumock, 

 N. Y. Your committee have been much pleased with this invention, and 

 think that its general use will add much to the happiness of families and the 

 well being of mankind. It is claimed that this is the only machine extant 

 that will scour forks; every portion of the fork and knife is brightly polish- 

 ed, at the rate of a dozen pieces a minute, by this machine. The friction is 

 slight and uniform, 2iot wearing away the material, but brightly poli.shing. 

 Rapidity of motion d<xjs the work, not force, and the wl.ole operation is ex-

 desired machine, and thus give us what wc all so much want, viz : cleaa 

 knives and forks. We award a Dip. and ^3
