236 CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE OF TEA. 



rolling should be exactly the same. The samples were then 

 sent to Calcutta and valued. Results as below : 



Messrs. Carritt and Co.'s report on the samples is dated Calcutta, 

 29th October, 1881, viz. : 



Chandpore leaf rolled by Haworth's machine : Large irregular 

 open unassorted leaf, brisk, fair flavour, little strong Re. 0-9-9. 



Chandpore leaf rolled by Jackson's machine : Leaf preferable, 

 closer rolled, liquor inferior, not very strong Re. 0-9-0. 



Sungoo leaf rolled by Haworth's machine : Rather large irregular 

 loosely twisted unassorted leaf, flavoury, little brisk Re. 0-9-3. 



Sungoo leaf rolled by Jackson's machine : Leaf little preferable, 

 liquor inferior, wanting briskness Re. 0-8-9. 



By above it appears Haworth's gave better liquor, and 

 Jackson's the best Tea in appearance. From all I have 

 heard I think it likely Haworth's roller has not received the 

 attention it deserves. 



Lyle's Roller. I have never seen this. From the drawing 

 before me it has no resemblance to other rollers. The 

 inventor claims for it simplicity, cheapness, strength, 

 durability, good rolling, and large outturn with a minimum 

 of labour. One testimonial I have seen speaks very highly 

 of its capabilities. 



Greig's Roller. This I have not seen or heard of. I can 

 only give the description sent me by the inventor : 



The Greig Link and Lever Tea Rolling Machine, worked by one 

 man, and suitable for rolling the finest nibs without breaking them, or 

 to crush the coarsest leaf into broken black at will. It can roll a large 

 or small quantity equally well. Price 70, delivered in Edinburgh. 

 Small size suitable for cattle gear, 45. Cattle gear, 20, delivered in 

 Edinburgh. 



The Calcutta Agent of the Luckea Moung Lung Tea Estate, 

 Sonada, Darjeeling, in sending remittance for a large size machine 

 which has been working there all the past season, says : " I am 

 informed the machine does its work in a most satisfactory manner, 

 rolling better than by hand : I am pleased to have to state this."
