_Haworth’s Roller._--This machine was invented long ago. The leaf is placed in bags and so rolled. In some respects the machine resembles a mangle. It has not been largely used, and thus is not much known. I have no personal experience of its worth, but have heard much of it from an old friend of mine, Mr. Carter, of the Chandpore Tea Estate, Chittagong. He has, I believe, had one from the first on his plantation, and thinks very well of it. Mr. Carter is a first-rate judge on all Tea matters. He conducted some experiments to test the value of Tea rolled by Jackson’s and Haworth’s Rollers, and did it with great care, that the quality of leaf, the withering, the drying, all but the two modes of 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.”
