There are four high-grade roller bearings. Operation is so smooth and noiseless^ that you can scarcely hear the light hum of the sickle!

Scientific study, has proved that the direct rays of - the «un's light exert beneficial effect on fabrics that can be obtained in no other manner. Drying away, from the influences of open air and sunlight lacks: the value to be had from summertime, outdoor drying.

"Direct sunshine fades non-fast fabrics, but is beneficial, except for that. Uncolored table linens, bedding and other white goods are fresher arid ?weeter through open-air drying. Colored fabrics get all the same benefits, the need being only to shelter them from sharp, direct rays of the sun."
