Talk:Singer Corporation

message: When I was in college at the University of Kent in England in 1974/1977, we used a Singer mainframe computer - is that the same company?  I see from the article that they were diversifying into those kinds of areas - but there is no reference to them building these huge computing machines.  Is this the same Singer company?

message: "A labor rights group alleged Tuesday that crucifixes sold in religious gift shops in the U.S. are produced under "horrific" conditions in a Chinese factory with more than 15-hour work days and inadequate food. ...St. Patrick's and Trinity bought the crosses from the Singer Co., a religious goods company based in suburban Mount Vernon. Co-owner Gerald Singer said the religious objects were made in China and purchased through a Chinese manufacturer called Full Start. " .

message: The article mentions the pistols, but does anyone know more about them, like how many were made and in what years? I have read that they are rare collectibles.--Deanzastudentman (talk) 02:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

message: It should also be included in this article that Singer had once been a manufacturer of traffic signal heads. As a traffic signal collector myself, I just recently acquired a Singer traffic signal from the 1960s, and the logo on the back of each signal housing is the exact same as that used by Singer today on their website.

message: According to the lists of (two-letter-prefix) serial numbers on the Singer website, machines were also made outside the US (e.g. Pakistan, Scotland, Brazil, Japan and Australia) and stamped with the Singer logo, yet this article seems to be US-centric.  Perhaps a new section in the article could expand on factories external to the US, and include dates and more info on localities?  I have't been able to find out anything more than a list of manufacture locations, which is just city/state and country (otherwise I would go ahead with this).

message: claims that this article supports this text:  I cannot find any mention in the article of the Singer Corporation refusing to sell logging rights to the National Audobon Society. The article places the blame solely on Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, and makes no mention of Singer Corporation. This U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service pamphlet also blames Chicago Mill.Zygerth, please quote the part of the Smithsonian Mag. article that you think supports your text. (Also, in the future, when your bold edit is reverted, you should begin a discussion, not edit-war.) Schazjmd (talk) 15:30, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Woodpecker claim 

message: Since Singer owned KLH speakers for a while as evidenced by the KLH page, they must've also sold speakers for a minute:  "KLH had sales of $17 million, employed over 500 people and sold over 30,000 speakers a year before it was sold to Singer Corporation in 1964. In 1970, KLH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electro Audio Dynamics (EAD) of Great Neck, New York."

message: I've added a bit about the sale of the rights to Singer name to Semi-Tech Global who then renamed SSMC to it. I've cite articles in NY Times. I've also cited correspondence between the EPA and the renamed "Bicoastal Corporation" which outlines some of the history of the entity post 1989. Dóeltenga (talk) 11:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
