Making Patterns 



An electric machine which per- 

 forates the patterns used by tiie 

 Red Cross. The chalk, dusted 

 through the perforations, makes an 

 outline of the pattern on the cloth. 

 Such strong material is used for the 

 patterns that once perforated they 

 may be used over and over again 



The Swift Winder 



An electric winder, known in the 

 Red Cross workrooms as the "swift 

 winder." It was invented by a man 

 who wished to assist his wife in her 

 Red Cross work. As it is started 

 and stopped by pressure of the 

 worker's foot on the pedal, her 

 hands are free to guide the yarn

 lengths. It keeps the material perfectly smooth so 

 surgical dressings can be cut in accurate widths 

 and lengths according to the requirements

 quick work is imperative
