charges, but the quality of his work is 1ar superior, as the taps are all

e. Spanner. ff. g. Taps for tapping. 2 inch size. 
The price of these is 6s., and the cogs 3s. per dozen. Ifa larger screw 
is wanted—that is, three-eighths of an inch in diameter—the price is 8s. 
for tools, and 4s. 6d. a dozen for cogs. He has supplied nearly 100 gross 
of these cogs during the winter of 1861- 
PATENT MACHINE-MADE SHOES are sold at a greatly reduced price, either 
in the rough state, or finished ready for fitting. On the large scale this 
may effect some little saving, but the shoes themselves are not very — 
neatly turned out of hand, and a very large stock also must be kept to fit 
all kinds of feet. In public forges there are always long intervals, during 
which very few horses are sent to be shod, and the time is occupied in 
turning shoes, while if patent ones are used the men must remain idle. 
The saving, therefore, is not so great as might be supposed, and in point 
of quality there is no comparison between machine and hand-made shoes. 
The best in the market are those of Messrs. Goodwin, Dudley, and Co., 
Soho Square, London. They can be punched or fullered according to 
fancy.
