1. A Medal and Diploma for " New WheeleI
& Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:
ga LOck-stitch Sewing MachinN
unsurpassed in the fine WOrkma nS
ship OF it's parts, and possessing
FH9s x cissses isssss of afd%Rs MRSr
both ON cloth and leather, beauty
of stitch, ease and ra piditY OF mOr
ton, and completeness of disa
play"
q A Medal and Diploma for "The NeW
Wheeler u Wilson Sewing Machine for
"superiOr quality of work In
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elemenM
Of the original Wheeler q Wilson Machine
with important additions and variations, and
differ from other lock stitch Machines in haYa
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part Of the
shuttle; an independent take-up; an autok
matte under tension; an improved form Of
feed, and better distribution Of parts.
The points Of superiority of these Maohinea
over other Lock-stitch Machines are very nu&
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quietoR
and more rapid and certain in action than thS
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mOrt
regular and even stitch, and does far moro
work with less fatigue of the operator.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, 50
| that the saving in time and repairs soon equaiR
the price OF the machine.
| g. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the "takes
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate thg
lock of the two threads while the machi1e id
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can,
be done with no shuttle machine.
| 4. The independent take-up, which draws uF
| the thread when the needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the chafing of the thread bek
tween the needle and the material, and per*
| mits the use OF so large q thread that thu
needle hole is entirely filled, making hrmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tight
seam in water proof goo Is, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tho
material is not puckered," apolnt Of especial
importance in braiding, binding and gener al
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eyelet prevents thE
friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
with uniform twist and eycnness, and the teRS
sion or lock of the threads being properly ada
ljusted, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mates
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
5. The needle is set by simply placing it iE
position; the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttl(
machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is thu
shuttle, and being much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of cord il
place of thread, which is Important for many
purposes.
8. The range of work with these machines Il
far greater than with any ether, being on anI
material from the hghtest gauze to the heaVi
lest leather, with silk, linen or cotton thread
I. The parts of these machines are perfeca /
: interchangeable, and their form, distribution,
balance and movement, secure not only th{
greatest durability and speed, with the least
power, but also the greatest case and cont
venience of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and Workmanship
constitute them the elimination of Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Me-
: chimes Of the world.
USES OF THE MACHINES EVERY
kind OF stitching, from that required in tht
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfeca
. tion with the No. Machine; but as there an
: certain purposes to which the No. 7 and the
No. 8 are more especially suited by reason q
= size or form, some Of the various kinds q
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows;
FOR THE NO. 9 MACHINE-Boof,
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trimI
I mings, patent leather trimmings for harness,
horse collars, travelling bags trunk trimmings
! canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathei
work generally.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Taiiorl
