Singer Machine No. 66-1 Oscillating Hook

Mechanism of Machine No. 66-1

“The Singer 66,” for family sewing, was brought out in 1900 and has been fitly named ‘‘the 20th Century Sewing Machine.”

It has link take-up and concealed needle-bar; the central bobbin in its case lies at the top where it is easily accessible and the lower thread is handled by an oscillating hook.

The central bobbin hook is made from one solid piece of steel, hardened and polished; its simple and regular oscillation around the bobbin requires but little power and is efficient and economical for lock-stitch sewing machines. The central bobbin has capacity for 100 yards of No. 60 cotton, and its delivery of under thread to the material is perfect.
