2. A Medal and Diploma for The New
Wheeler " Wilson Sewing Machine" " for
"SuperiOr quality of work in
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elements
of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machin',
with important additions and variations, and
| iffer from other lock stitch Machines in hay
ing u Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part Of tho
shuttle; an Independent take-up; an auto
matte under tension; an improved form Of
feed, and better distribution Of parts.
The points OF superiority of these Machines
| over other Lock stitch Machines are very nR-
| merous and important
| /. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteI
| and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces more
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue OF the operator.
q The Rotary Hook system is more durable
aud wears far less than the shuttle system, Sd
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
| the price Of the machine.
g. The simple automatic under tension, or
| clamping OF the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate tho
| lock Of the two threads while the machine 10
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
| A. The independent take-u which draws up
the thread when tae needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the cha1ng Of the thread be-
| tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF SO large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making Iirmcr
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 the
Importance in braiding binding and general
| sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
with uniform twist and cvenness, and the ten
sion or lock Of the threads being properly ad-
| justed, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the tn :ckest matt
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
8. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of a cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
8. The range of work with these machines is
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the llghtest gauze to the heay-
lest leather, with silk, linen or cotton thread.
I. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
interchangeable, and their form, distribution,
balance and movement, secure not only the
greatest durability and speed, with the least
power, but also the greatest ease and con-
Venience Of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanship
constitute them the elimination of Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma.
chimes of the world.
USES OF THE MACHINES Every
kind OF stitching, from that required in tha
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to pc fec
