A HAND POWER CREPING AND SHEETING 
MACHINE. 
We have received from Messrs. Howarth Erskine’s a photograph 
and description of a little hand power creping and sheeting machine 
for the use of estates not yet equipped with power factories. In small 
or commencing estates, where the output is small, and not enoug to 
warrant the use of an engine for creping or sheeting, the worker 
generally has to use a mangle for turning out his sheet and the 
ordinary scrap is simply made into balls and bark scrap wasted. 
The new design invented by Messrs. Howarth Erskine’s is destined 
to save all this waste and to turn out first class crepe or sheet 
according to the rolls used. Many estates have already commence 
using this haqdy little machine which is a great advance on the 
mangle which was hitherto our only machine for dealing with small 
lots of rubber.— E d.
