| TEXT | One of the most complete and among the largest establishments for the manufacture of the various machines used in the silk industry is that of Benjamin Eastwood, which has been in successful operation for ten years. Mr. Eastwood began
to manufacture in Van Houten street, in 1872, on a capital of $1,500, employing but three hands. In 1874 he removed to the Beaver Mill, where he employed twelve hands, his business steadily increasing. In 1878 he purchased a site on Raruapo avenue, near the Erie Railway station, where he built his present commodious works, worth from 20.000 to 25.000. The buildings consist of a machine shop, three stories high, 35x100 feet, and a smithy and foundry, 35x80 feet. From fiftv to sixty hands are employed, according to the demands of business. The works are run and heated by steam, and conducted with promptness and system. The productions of this machine shop comprise the latest patents and valuable improvements in silk machinery, the principal of which may be enumerated as follows: Winders, doublers, drawside-frames, French, English and American quilling and spooling-frames, ribbon blocking machines, power and hand warpers, beamers and cleaners, gros-grain and dress goods power and hand-looms, Eastwood's new traverse motion, patented March 25, 1879, shafting, pulleys, hangers, etc. The aim of Mr. Eastwood lias always been to be the first to bring out anything in his line really meritorious. He keeps pace with all the inventions and improvements of the day, and his works contain a great deal of new machinery. He was the first to introduce steam-warping machines, and has made a great success of them as they at once met with the approval of manufacturers. He furnishes castings for outside parties and does a large amount of repairing. The value of the product is from 50.000 to 75.000 per annum. |
